Known for its history and craftsmanship - and of course cider - tourism, heritage and agriculture are at the heart of Taunton’s economy.
Taunton was the first place in England to deploy electric street lighting and the science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke was schooled here - lending a ‘visionary’ character to this progressive yet traditional town. Today manufacturing, food & beverage, retail, travel & leisure, underpin the economy, with technology & telecommunications an important growth sector.
The town accommodates Somerset Council’s County Hall in Taunton bringing local authority opportunities as well as independent schools, Richard Huish College and an NHS Foundation Trust Hospital, Musgrove Park Hospital. With more than 30 care homes the health & social care sector is the largest, employing 20.8% of the workforce.
