More Information About Newark
Newark-on-Trent (generally shortened to Newark) is a market town in Nottinghamshire in the East Midlands region of England. The current population of Newark is around 25,000. The clothing, bearings, pumps, agricultural machinery, and sugar refining were the main industries in Newark in the last 100 years or so. British Sugar still has one of its few sugar beet processing factories to the north of the town near the A616 (Great North Road). There have been many factory closures[citation needed], especially since the 1950s, as with much of Britain's manufacturing industry. The largest single employer is a bearings factory (part of the NSK group) with around 800 employees. Another notable employer in the town is Laurens Patisseries, part of the UK's largest food group Bakkavör since May 2006 when bought for £130m, claims to be the largest cream cake manufacturer in the UK. It supplies desserts to Tesco. Dessert Company on Brunel Drive closed in March 2000 with the loss of 700 jobs when Laurens received the Tesco order which they had supplied. In 2007, Currys opened their £30m national distribution centre next to the A17 near the A46 roundabout, and Dixons moved its national distribution centre there in 2005. PJ Smoothies used to be a main manufacturer in the town until 2007, when production was moved to Boxford in Suffolk to be made by Copella. Ingersoll Dresser have a pumps factory. Project Telecom on Brunel Drive was bought by Vodafone in 2003 for a reported £163m. Breweries in the town in the 20th century included James Hole and Warwicks-and-Richardsons. With its pleasant environment, including the surrounding villages, and its good transport links, the town is becoming a popular commuter town for the expanding city of Nottingham (around twenty miles (32 km) away) and even increasingly for London (1 hour and 20 minutes by rail). Newark is also home of Newark Rugby Union Football Club, which has produced past players such as Dusty Hare, John Wells and Tom Ryder. The leisure centre is out towards Balderton at the Grove School.
