The £45 million turnover Thompson Group, which has its headquarters at Hessle near Hull, created separate ‘consumer products’ (Thompson Plastics) and ‘vehicle products’ (Thompson Technik) divisions two years ago.
The Thompson Technik plant at Pontycymer, South Wales manufactures plastic components for the automotive and agricultural industries including Ford. The automotive industry is renowned for working to Just In Time principles where deliveries must be on time and 100% reliable.
Bridgeway had been occasional suppliers to Thompson for several years but the volumes increased rapidly in the summer of 2004. Bridgeway are now the preferred supplier of transport services to the South and East of the UK for Thompson Technik, having provided an excellent, reliable service.
Although the majority of loads are within the UK we have also successfully organised several inter company transfers from all over Europe to their factory at Bridgend.
