BRITISH pump manufacturer and
distributor Tomlinson Hall & Co Ltd
commemorated its 90th birthday with
an industry open day and river cruise.
The company was established in 1919
as a general engineering company,
and now specialises in pumps, power
transmission and engineering supplies
with an international distribution
network. The company was a finalist in
Tomlinson Hall hosts open day
the 2008 Pump Industry Awards in the
Distributor of the Year category.
The open day, attended by over 70
delegates, included exhibitions by
some of the industry’s top pump
manufacturers, including Crane
ChemPharma Flow Solutions, Alfa Laval,
ITT, Lowara, Grundfos, Sterling SPP and
Alldos. Delegates were provided with an
opportunity to learn about Tomlinson
Hall’s history and service, and were also
given a demonstration of the company’s
Liquivac®, a fast, self-priming liquid ring
vacuum pump, with twin start helical
rotor capable of pumping fine solids,
liquid, air and foams. After the open
day guests were treated to an evening
cruise on the River Tees, which included
refreshments and entertainment.
Sales director Colin Simpson
commented, “As it is Tomlinson Hall’s
90 th year in business we wanted to do
something that we could share with our
colleagues and fellow businessmen.
The open day provided an ideal solution,
mixing both business and pleasure. The
open day was attended by a variety of
end users, manufacturers and specifiers
from a range of industries including
land reclamation, pharmaceutical,
brewery and distillination, sewerage,
remediation, marine and nuclear.”

New 710mm
water pipe
RADIUS Systems has been selected
to supply 710mm dark blue PE for a
prestigious new water supply main
near Reading, UK – a 7km scheme
for Thames Water.
Contractor Murphy Group selected
PE over ductile iron due to its
expertise in this field. The installation
was in a high water table area,
close to a water course, and running
across fields in some sections, so
long lengths of butt-fused PE proved
advantageous. The installation is
part of Thames Water’s ongoing
investment in its water network.
