A History of Innovation
Peterborough's engineering heritage is rooted in the brick-making industry that helped build Victorian London, with the London Brick Company once operating the largest brickworks in the world at nearby Fletton. The city became a major centre for diesel engine manufacturing when Frank Perkins founded Perkins Engines in 1932, producing power units exported worldwide. The arrival of the railway further cemented Peterborough as an industrial hub, with the Great Northern Railway establishing major locomotive and engineering works. Baker Perkins, founded in 1878, became a global leader in food processing and printing machinery.
Inspiring STEM Role Models
Frank Perkins founded Perkins Engines in Peterborough in 1932, building a company that would become one of the world's leading manufacturers of diesel and gas engines. The city's engineering tradition has produced generations of skilled machinists, designers and production engineers. Professor Daphne Jackson, born in Peterborough and educated at the city's County Grammar School for Girls, became the UK's first female professor of physics in 1971 at the age of thirty-four, making significant contributions to nuclear physics before founding the trust in her name that has since helped over five hundred researchers return to STEM careers after career breaks. More recently, Peterborough's growing environmental science sector has attracted researchers and conservationists connected to the RSPB's national operations based nearby.
Peterborough’s STEM Economy Today
Perkins Engines, now a subsidiary of Caterpillar Inc., continues to manufacture diesel and gas engines at its Eastfield site, employing over a thousand people locally. The BGL Group, one of the UK's largest financial services partnerships, is headquartered in the city and drives demand for software developers, data analysts and cybersecurity professionals. The RSPB's UK headquarters is based nearby, placing Peterborough at the heart of national conservation efforts. Anglian Water's operations centre in the city leads innovation in water treatment and sustainable resource management.
STEM Career Pathways for Young People
Young people in Peterborough can pursue careers in mechanical and diesel engineering through Caterpillar's apprenticeship programmes. The BGL Group recruits extensively for technology roles including software engineering, data science and digital product management. Environmental science careers are well supported by the RSPB, the Wildlife Trust and Anglian Water, all of which offer graduate and early-career opportunities. Peterborough Regional College and University Centre Peterborough provide locally accessible pathways into engineering, computing and environmental management.
Investing in STEM Education in Peterborough
Peterborough sits at a crossroads between advanced manufacturing, environmental stewardship and digital innovation. Caterpillar manufactures engines here. BGL Group runs a major technology operation. The RSPB coordinates national conservation efforts from nearby. The city's ongoing regeneration signals long-term investment in a knowledge-based economy. For schools in the area, STEM enrichment connects students directly to the employers and careers that are shaping the city's future.
