Helicopter manufacture has been Yeovil’s defining industry for over a century, and the factory and airfield on the western side still anchor a wide supply chain of engineering firms. Those businesses fill the trading estates at Lufton, Houndstone and Pen Mill, where shared roads see constant van and lorry movements. Residential expansion has pushed out to the north and west of the town, with large phased schemes still in progress.
Yeovil is not on the motorway network. The A303 passes a few miles to the north, reached by the A37 or the A3088, and the A30 runs east to Sherborne and west to Crewkerne. Farm traffic is heavy on all of them, and the naval air station at Yeovilton is a further source of construction work.
Coverage in and around Yeovil
The same enquiry can cover Sherborne, Crewkerne, Ilchester, Martock, Stoke-sub-Hamdon, Montacute and South Petherton, as well as villages along the A37. South Somerset is largely rural and operators commonly come from the M5 side of the county, so some travel should be expected and we confirm availability before booking.
