Winscombe: A Unique Town Poised at the Intersection of Finance, Car and Motorsport

The sleepy Somerset village of Winscombe lies at the epicentre of an intersection of disparate industries. Home to a diverse range of professionals, it is a rural town blessed with a unique mix of industries and businesses embracing the car, finance, and motorsport industries. This article will examine each of these industries in turn to discover the colourful culture of Winscombe.

Set amidst a charming undulating landscape, the town centre of Winscombe is a pleasant place to relax, with a wide selection of independent shops and eateries, most of which have been in place for many generations. Meanwhile, the nearby open spaces, such as Sandford House Wood and Penros Garden, provide plenty of opportunities for outdoor recreation.

Demographics

According to the last census, the population of Winscombe stands at around 5,300 people. The majority of residents, aged over 60, are white British, usually with social grade C2 and D and/or married couples raising children. Those aged 16—29 are more likely to be educated to degree level and come from high social grade A and B backgrounds.

Car Industry

The car industry has been a staple of Winscombe since the late 1900s, to which local resident and mechanic 'Bob' Payne can attest. Not only a contented Aston Martin and classic Land Rover restorer, he has been a major supplier of spare and replacement parts over the years.

Those interested in buying cars can head to Automotive Mechanica, located on the outskirts of town. This independent garage is renowned far and wide as the go-to place for servicing classic and collectable cars, including chassis detailing and engine diagnostics. The experienced team provides a friendly and personalised service, giving experienced and enthusiastic car owners the dedicated attention they deserve.

Finance

The finance industry has always had a strong presence in Winscombe, with the second and third largest employers being banks and financial services companies. This has meant that the town is well stocked with banking services and offers particularly favourable terms to commercial customers. Most notably, the town was identified by Investec in 2020 as a place of high disposable incomes, giving local businesses ample opportunity for growth.

The 'Financial' section of the town is home to a variety of independent businesses, including the main headquarters of Wealth Management, who have over 240 customers in the area. For the average individual, Winscombe has a highly respected pension and investment advisor, Blackford Asset Management, who provide a range of tailored products, saving and investment solutions to both private and corporate clients. Financial institutions in the area have also provided a key driving force behind the growth of small-business networking communities, such as the Winscombe Business and Professional Network.

Motorsport

The paddock and racetrack of the former Winscombe Motor Racing Club (WMRC) is perhaps Winscombe's most long-standing contribution to motorsport. The club was formed in 1972 by a handful of local enthusiasts, and until its closure in the late '90s, the WMRC was a celebration of the spirit of motorsport. Events such as drag races and karting were regular fixtures as were touring car races, moto-x, rallies and endurance team events. To this day, the WMRC's archives are an inspirational diary of an incredible range of talent, racing and machinist dexterity.

In recent years, the quaint country lanes around Winscombe have seen a growing interest in the newfound sport of electric karting. The town's well-known beauty, largely untapped due to its modest size and location, is increasingly being discovered as the home of some of the best electric karting circuits in the south-west. The tracks at Westhay Heath track and at Stretton-On-Winscombe have been a favourite destination for drivers of all ages, who enjoy racing against each other in a quiet and safe environment.
