Testing and Measurement in Wolverhampton

Today's Novanna testing website hotspot is Wolverhampton. Given city status in 2000, Wolverhampton is in the West Midlands and has a population of around 250,000. The city name is thought to come from the Anglo-Saxon Wulfrūnehēantūn, meaning Wulfrun's high enclosure or farm. Lady Wulfrun founded the town in 985, although local tradition also states that King Wulfhere of Mercia founded an abbey of St Mary at Wolverhampton in 659.

Originally a wool and market town, Wolverhampton grew into a major industrial city as a result of the industrial revolution. Engineering is still a major part of the city economy.
