Introduction to South Shields

South Shields — one of the UK's most vibrant and diverse coastal cities — is located in the North East of England, on the banks of the River Tyne. With a population of approximately 84,000 people, South Shields offers a fantastic mix of history, culture and entertainment, as well as being at the heart of the UK's automotive, finance and motorsport industries.

South Shields' history can be traced back to the 7th century AD, when it was part of the kingdom of Northumbria. From this relatively humble beginning, South Shields has grown to become a vibrant city and one of the most important economic hubs in the UK.

Automotive industry

South Shields has a strong history in the automotive industry, with several car manufacturers having been based in the city over the years. British car maker MG Rover had its origins in South Shields in the late 19th century. Several models of MG Rover cars were built in the city until the mid-2000s.

The city is also home to the North East Automotive Alliance (NEAA), an automotive sector trade association that promotes collaboration and networking between automotive companies, universities and other stakeholders in the region. This network of contacts has enabled the area to remain the UK's fifth-largest vehicle assembly and production centre, with a turnover of more than £3.3 billion.

Other companies that are based in South Shields and are active in the automotive industry include Deltic Automotive, which is a leading manufacturer of batteries and electric vehicles, and Williams Advanced Engineering, a company that develops advanced vehicle technologies. The city is also home to Wards, which is a leader in the manufacturing and distribution of car parts and accessories.

Finance industry

South Shields is also home to a number of financial institutions which provide a range of services to businesses and individuals throughout the region.

The city is home to several regional offices of large national banks, including Barclays and HSBC, as well as the regional headquarters of Northern Rock. In addition, South Shields is also the base for two of the UK's largest and most successful independent finance companies, Quilter and St James's Place, both of which are involved in providing financial advice and a range of products to clients in the area.

The city has also been a leader in the development of new financial technologies and online banking services. Many start-up financial technology companies have been founded in South Shields in recent years with the support of the Financial Services Innovation Fund, a £50 million support fund that was established to accelerate the development of financial services in the North East.

Motorsport

South Shields has been a major centre of motorsport in the UK for many years. It is home to the Newcastle International Raceway, which hosts a range of local, national and international motor racing events throughout the year.

The city is also home to numerous motor racing team workshops, which specialise in the development and maintenance of racing cars and engines, such as the SCX Motorsport, RT's Motorsports, and Euromotorsport. In addition, South Shields is also home to several motorsport parts suppliers and fabrication shops, such as North East Race Parts and Polarfab.
