Ive been going to the gym regularly and have seen quite big imrpvements, however i feel i probably still could do with widening by upper body. Any exercise that can hit the core muscles to make this shape possible?

weights!
your upper body gets wide by doing back workouts. a basic one is a lat pull down. also, you can do bent over rows, or deadlifting.
these can help you develop a wide upperbody
There are a number of excercises you can do to create or widen a V shape pysique. Being that you belong to a gym there should be several machines to help you achieve this goal.
The rowing machine hits the lats and will also work the rear deltoids which will help improve posture. Another excercise I found really helpful as well is doing bent over rows with a barbell. You bend over and pull the bar up to your chest. Use a heavy enough weight so that you can do 8 to 12 reps which will help you build muscle. mass. On off days, do as many pull ups (palms facing out) as you can. This will really help shape your lat muscles and build endurance. See how many sets of 15 you can do and be consistent. You might also consider doing some standing military presses as well to hit your shoulders.. that will broaden your stance and complete the mesomorph look you are aiming to achieve. Good luck. I hope some of this helps
Just do higher reps and try muscle confusion (introducing new ranges of movement to the same muscles). This will challenge your body every workout so that you get new improvements every workout and just focus more on the area you want to bulk up without neglecting the rest of your body.
Here is a body building website:

go to the supersite and just read what other people have eaten and done to get their body. This is an example of the body type you want (I think):

Try out P90X, I knew someone who did it and I am about to start it myself. (I don’t want the triangle shape), but it can be achieved. They let you buy it and try it for 90 days (the duration of the program) and you can send it back.
Here is the infomercial for that program:
