Introduction
The small Wiltshire market town of Warminster has a long and varied history. Situated close to Longleat deer park and surrounded by some of the most picturesque countryside in the country, it is perhaps most renowned as a centre for military research, having given its name to the local military base, which is home to some of the world's most advanced technological research and development.
However, Warminster has a surprisingly vibrant connection with the car industry, finance industry and motorsport, of which many people are unaware. In this article, we will take a deeper look at the context of Warminster's relationship with these sectors and explore the demographics of its current population.
The Car Industry
The automotive industry in Warminster dates back to the early 1950s, when engineer George Bretton joined forces with local businessmen Jack White, Tommy Lamb and Arthur Elson to found Garrards Engineering, which specialised in the engineering of components for high performance race cars. As the industry grew in regional importance, major automotive companies such as Morris, Armstrong Siddeley, and Jonson Motors came to Warminster in search of local engineering talent and resources.
By the 1960s, Warminster had become an important hub for the motor racing industry, with top drivers and teams based in the area. The circuit at Tortworth was considered to be one of the most testing and challenging in the country, and the Warminster events remained popular with racing enthusiasts until they were discontinued in the late eighties.
The Finance Industry
Whilst Warminster may not have much of a reputation as a major financial centre, it nevertheless plays an important role in the local economy. Local businesses such as JMT Financial Services, Motive Group and Accountancy Money Solutions have been based in Warminster for many years, offering financial advice and support to businesses and individuals.
In addition, a number of high-profile firms have set up operations in Warminster, including Barclays Bank and HSBC, who opened branches in 2016 and 2018 respectively. This highlighted Warminster's growing importance within the finance sector, as it is one of only a handful of towns in the country to be home to branches of two of the biggest banks in the UK.
Motorsport
Warminster's engagement with motorsport has also been ongoing for many decades. In the early days, car enthusiasts gathered at Tortworth to watch and participate in drag races, hill climbs and races at local circuits. During the mid-1970s Warminster Motor Racing Club was formed and soon became one of the country's most successful
This is still going strong today and occasionally takes part in the UK Rally Championship and World Rally Championship events. In addition, Warminster has hosted a number of other motorsport-related events, such as the Warminster International Supermoto Race, held annually since 2003.
Demographics
Warminster has a population of around 20,000 people, and is home to a number of cultural attractions, such as West Wiltshire Museum, Longleat and the Salisbury and South Wiltshire Museum. The majority of the population is made up of families, young professionals and retirees and 43% of the population is under the age of 45.
In terms of ethnicity, Warminster's population is largely white British, accounting for 92% of the population, with other European ethnic groups making up the remaining 8%.
Conclusion
In conclusion, Warminster is a small but vibrant market town, with a rich history and a growing connection with the car industry, finance industry and motorsport. Its population is largely made up of families, young professionals and retirees, demonstrating the importance of the town's many industries to the local economy.
