Loading the barrel:

Tomlinson Hall Ltd was established in 1919 as a general engineering company and has now grown into a specialist manufacturer and distributor for pumps, power transmission equipment and engineering supplies employing some 23 staff. The company manufacture their own range of Liquivac pumps in addition to acting as UK distributors for a variety of both UK and overseas manufacturers, including Grundfos, DEPA, Alfa Laval and Flowserve. A high profile within their market sectors was seen as crucial to both marketing their clients' products and attracting new distribution opportunities.


The colour mix:

Commencing with a brief to promote the DEPA range of AODD (Air Operated Double Diaphragm) pumps within the UK, the agency's design team created an innovative campaign that differentiated the pumps form all competition and was matched by a pro-active PR campaign based on the agency's engineering experience to promote both Tomlinson Hall's service expertise and the individual pumps' qualities. Tomlinson Hall entered the prestigious PIA (Pump Industry Awards) in 2008.


The impact:

Runners-up in 2008 but named as Pump Distributor of the Year in 2009/10 and again in 2011 (the only time a distributor has won in consecutive years), the company go from strength to strength and most recently have just been appointed sole UK distributor for Richter Pumps, part of the US-based Idex Corporation.
