Bradford-based pneumatics specialist Thorite achieved a record monthly sales of pneumatic products and process systems of nearly £1.5 million in October.

Managing director Stephen Wright presented every employee at the Bradford head office with a bottle of champagne and despatched cases of bubbly to the company’s ten regional sales and service centres throughout Yorkshire, Lancashire, the North East and West Midlands.

Mr Wright, past president of Bradford Chamber of Commerce, said: “October brought us remarkable sales results across the whole operation. I would like to congratulate everyone at Thorite for being part of the hard working team that has just achieved our record month.”
