Tomlinson Hall named Northern Powerhouse Export Champion

Tomlinson Hall, one of the North East’s leading pump distributors, has been named as one of the North East 2019 Powerhouse Export Champions for the second consecutive year.

“It’s not an easy task, which is why this campaign is great, and we are incredibly proud to be part of, as it provides a support network and through working as a community and utilising best practices, we can help springboard businesses into new territories across the globe.”

“British engineering and manufacturing products are in high demand, as we have seen with our own Liquivac pump. With our success in significantly growing our export activities, of which the Department of International Trade have very much supported, we hope to play our part in helping other North East companies to do the same.”
