Introduction
Situated to the northeast of Leicester and to the south of Nottingham in Leicestershire, the market town of Melton Mowbray is an idyllic corner of the United Kingdom boasting unique connections to the car industry, finance industry and motorsport. With its postcard-perfect fields, historic buildings and tranquil atmosphere, it is a stunningly beautiful corner of the United Kingdom that has been home to a variety of industries throughout its history.
The town's history as an motorsport hub dates back to the 1930s, when local entrepreneur Bob Roberts established the first real track in the area, known affectionately as the 'Arrgyle Speedway'. The track was developed over the years and eventually became the famous Donington Park circuit; the motorsports capital for drivers across the United Kingdom and beyond.
In addition to its close links to the motorsport industry, Melton Mowbray has become home to a number of large car manufacturers. Nissan, Jaguar Land Rover and GKN Transmission Systems all have major operations nearby, with GKN Transmission Systems enjoying the longest presence in the area by far. Across the road from the works is a large testing centre that is used by a range of car and engine manufacturers.
The town has also been home to a range of finance industry operations since the early 20th century, with two major finance companies, Barclays and Lloyds Bank, opening up offices in Melton Mowbray in the 1950s. The two banks are responsible for lucrative outsourcing contracts from major banking groups in London and Britain, and have been instrumental in the success of the local economy.
Demographics
With a population of 28,000, Melton Mowbray's demographics are made up of a mixture of young and old. The town contains a much higher percentage of people aged over 65 than the national average, and 77% of people are of working age.
In terms of ethnicity, the population is more than 90% White British. The rest of the population is made up of small Asian, African-Caribbean and other ethnic minorities. In addition, the town has a small but thriving Roma community, with many members of the group originating from Romania, Bulgaria and Hungary.
The town is divided into four wards - Aveland, Burton, Langdale and Thorpe - and there is a plethora of amenities and facilities in each of these areas. Education is especially well catered for, with the town home to six primary schools and three secondary schools, as well as a number of independent educational institutions. The town has also recently opened a sixth form college in line with government initiatives to open more educational facilities in rural areas.
The town's unemployment rate stands at 3%, with most of the town's inhabitants being employed in manufacturing, retail and financial services. The majority of the town's inhabitants were born in the United Kingdom (97%), and over two-thirds of the population own their homes.
