Businesses, the environment and a life-saving charity are set to benefit this year thanks to an innovative new scrappage scheme.

Under its ‘99 for 99’ initiative, the firm will give £99 to any company which replaces any old pump on their UK premises with a new DEPA® air operated double diaphragm (AODD) pump, which will be supplied by Tomlinson Hall. The firm will safely dispose of the old pump and the scrap value of each pump replaced will be donated to the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI).
Pump users can either take their scrap pumps to Tomlinson Hall’s premises for disposal, or under the scheme, Tomlinson Hall’s engineering team will de-install the pumps on the customer’s site.
Founded in 1919, Tomlinson Hall is a global distributor for many leading pump brands and manufactures its own innovative liquid ring vacuum pump, Liquivac. The company offers full-service expertise in pump supply, installation, surveying, servicing and repairs.
The DEPA® AODD range of pumps are designed and manufactured by CRANE, for which Tomlinson Hall is the sole UK distributor. DEPA® AODD pumps are renowned for their reliability and efficiency. The range includes stainless steel pumps, cast metal pumps, non-metal pumps and powder pumps, and they are used across a wide range of applications.
The RNLI, which has lifeboat stations in Redcar and Hartlepool, close to the firm’s Teesside. headquarters will benefit from every pump scrapped as part of the scheme.
Colin Simpson, Business Development Director of Tomlinson Hall, said:
“We’re celebrating 99 years in business this year and we wanted to give something back to pump users.
Pumps use vast amounts of energy but many businesses run older, potentially inefficient pumps which could be replaced by more energy efficient models: this can have a real long term impact on both running costs and carbon footprint. Our new scrappage scheme can therefore help businesses to save energy and support them in reducing their environmental impact, while overcoming the challenges they may have in de-installing and safely disposing of their old pumps.
We’re also very proud to be supporting the RNLI through the scheme. The organisation saved more than 550 lives in 2016 and its lifeboat crews and lifeguards make a huge difference every single day along our coastlines.”
A joint founding member of the Pump Distributors Association and a member of The British Pump Manufacturers Association, Tomlinson Hall is a global distributor for many leading pump brands, including CRANE, and manufactures its own innovative liquid ring vacuum pump Liquivac.
The company works across the UK and in overseas markets including Europe, the Middle East, the Americas and Asia.
