Wellington, located in the south west of England, is a county town within the county of Somerset. Founded in 1244 and sometimes referred to as 'The Five Burrow Hamlet', Wellington is one of the oldest settlements in the region. However, it is equally prominent for its active contribution to England's car industry, finance industry and motorsport scene.
Wellington is a town like no other, situated nine miles from the bustling city of Taunton and an equal distance from the attractive riverside town of Bridgwater. According to the Office for National Statistics, the population within Wellington is estimated at around 12,640 with a median age of around 44.2 years. The population is made up of 86.6% of people born in England, 1.5% born in Wales, 4.5% in Scotland 3.7% in Northern Ireland and 3.7% of other UK countries.
Originally known as Walledtown, Wellington is the modern day home of various industries including the car industry, finance industry and motorsport. It is the location to some of the most significant factories in the UK associated with these industries, each with a long and respected history.
The car industry in Wellington is perhaps best enhanced by the presence of two Land Rover factories. The first, a Gen 1 production facility located behind the former Chamberlain Wing at the Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital, manufactures the highest quality off road vehicles in the world. With over sixty years of experience in this field, the factory stands as a testament to the tenacity and expertise of the people who work here.
The second Land Rover factory is located at Wellington's far Westfield Industrial Estate. The largest in the Midlands after Jaguar Land Rover's Castle Bromwich facility, this factory has been manufacturing much of the modern Land Rover Range since it was first established in 1979.
The finance industry has also had a significant impact on Wellington. One of the largest employers in the town, the Lloyd's Banking group, has been based here since 1822 and employs over 400 local people. The group is responsible for managing a significant amount of financial resources and handling an impressive portfolio of savings and loans products.
The other big player in the world of finance is the Wellington Financial Centre. This former industrial estate located in the centre of the town houses an investment office, locally providing advice and services to those with an interest in personal financial matters. This centre provides the town with a unique opportunity to build a bridge between those with a financial background and the local community.
Wellington has also established a strong relationship with motorsport. It is the home to the National Autosport Centre (NAC), located on the edge of the village, which serves as a hub for international and national motorsport events. The venue has supported many world-renowned events including the Annual 24 Hours of Le Mans, which takes place around the village every August. The NAC is also the location of a meeting centre which caters to the needs of any motorsport enthusiast.
The presence of such prestigious organisations have helped to make Wellington a town that demands attention. It is a perfect example of what can be achieved when different corners of the UK come together. Car, finance and motorsport industries have created a hub of both talent and insight which has shaped the town into a prosperous and progressive place to live.
However, given the size of the locality, it would be wrong to expect the significant contributions of Wellington's automotive and financial sectors to have been made with no recognition. In fact, the town is highly regarded for its commitment to excellence, having recently been declared one of the UK's 'Most Enterprising Town' in the National Community Banks Award 2016.
Wellington really does prove that when the three key pillars of the car industry, finance and motorsport come together, an impressive success story can be formed. Despite its small size, Wellington has managed to put itself firmly on the national and international map with its industry-leading expertise and commitment to local communities. It certainly embodies the essence of what it means to be a part of modern Britain.
