From 24th February 2025, both Norman Walker and Compcon will be known under the Pennine Pneumatic Services Ltd (PPS) brand name. This move aims to improve cohesion of the five PPS branches across the North of England.
PPS acquired Norman Walker and Compcon in 2021. Since acquisition they have continued under their own business names but working as a division of PPS. Changing the name now is part of the natural progression of both branches and eases customer confusion with different brand names.
The support customers receive from PPS Hull (formerly Norman Walker) and PPS Alfreton (formerly Compcon) will remain the same – the branch teams are not changing. Nick forth remains the Branch Manager at PPS Hull and PPS Alfreton will still be led by Branch Manager Mark Brooks. Supported by their experienced teams, the branches will continue to deliver a complete compressed air service to manufacturers across the Humber and Derbyshire regions. Customers within those regions will already be familiar with dealing with PPS for functions such as accounts, installation and ducting.
“Local teams delivering a high-quality compressed air service, that manufacturers can rely on, has, and will always be, our number one priority at PPS. The business has grown and developed since the acquisitions in 2021, now feels like a natural time for the name change for all involved.
“Our branch teams fully support the change, and it is because of their dedication to customer service that we can implement this change with no impact on the customer.
“Having all five of our branches under one name will bring us even closer together as a team and strengthen our reputation as a compressed air supplier”.
Matt O’Connor, Managing Director PPS.
