Introduction
Westbury is a small town located in the county of Wiltshire in the South West of England. With a population of just over 7,000 Westbury is surprisingly one of the most important towns in the UK when it comes to its connections with the car industry, finance industry and motorsport. With a range of companies operating in the town or the Wiltshire area all connected to these three, Westbury can be seen to be an important hub in the region.
The town of Westbury has a history dating back to pre-roman times where it was populated by a Celtic tribe. The Romans built a fort in the area in around 50AD which would ultimately shape much of the town. Over the years the town grew gradually as more people started to settle in the Wiltshire area. The town's population rose to just over 7,000 in the most recent census of 2019 and the town is widely regarded as one of Wiltshire's most important towns in the county.
Car Industry Connections
Westbury's connections to the car industry are perhaps most clearly seen in its proximity to a number of car manufacturers who have bases nearby. The most notable of these is Land Rover, who have their headquarters based just 12 miles away in Solihull. The prestige car manufacturer Jaguar are also based nearby as they have their headquarters located roughly 24 miles away in Walsall.
The connections to the car industry don't stop there though, as Westbury is also the home to a number of automotive dealerships that specialise in luxury and prestige cars. These include BMW, Audi, Mercedes and Bentley. Westbury is also home to a number of automotive parts and services providers which are essential to the functioning of the car industry in the town.
Finance Industry Connections
Westbury's connections to the finance industry are much more subtle but equally as beneficial to the town. The area is home to a number of banks and financial institutions which are some of the biggest employers in Westbury. These include Lloyds, HSBC and Barclays. Westbury is also home to a number of independent financial advisers and accountants who specialise in providing financial advice to both individuals and businesses.
These independent financial advisors and consultants are what make Westbury an important hub for the finance industry. As well as these independent advisors, Westbury is also home to a number of firms that offer corporate services such as legal advice, accounting and fund management services. This helps to make the town an important financial hub in the region.
Motorsport Connections
Westbury's connections to motorsport stretch as far back as 1896 when the town hosted its first motor race. The race was a success and since then the area has held a number of motor races, most notably the Westbury Rally. The Westbury Rally is held once a year and is a major event in the local sporting calendar as it brings together people from across the UK to Westbury for the race.
In recent years Westbury has also been host to a number of popular motorsport events, most notably the British Rally Championship. The British Rally Championship is a multi-day event that takes place annually and attracts competitors from across the UK and around the world. It is one of the most prestigious motorsport events in the country and it helps to put Westbury on the map in regards to motorsport.
