With an extensive product portfolio, T-T provides pumps, valves, automation and agricultural systems that promise reliability, economy, and longevity
Established in 1959, T-T started out in Stoke-on-Trent, UK, as a general engineering company under the name Vanroy. The company won its biggest project in 1979: the Lindsay Coast Scheme for Anglian Water and the Teign Estuary Scheme, two large-scale sewerage system upgrades with a combined total worth of £50 million. Multiple pumping stations were supplied to replace old equipment that couldn’t manage the growing population. In 1983, the company began to design and manufacture control systems, allowing for continued and steady growth in the water management supply chain, leading to a rebrand and the birth of T-T.
The company began to diversify and establish separate divisions, and following a period of Danish ownership, in 1989, the company came under new management and reverted to full British ownership. This marked a significant turning point for the brand as the team began focusing on supplying quality pumps, pumping stations, control panels and electrical monitoring systems. 
In 1990, pumping station services were consolidated under the trusted T-T name to offer customers a more unified approach to their schemes, the division later received a final rebrand to T-T Pumping Stations. 1991 saw T-T become the sole UK distributor for Italian manufacturer Zenit, a proud partnership that the company still holds today. T-T also began working with the London underground in 1993, initially supplying control panels before going on to provide and install pumps and complete pumping systems.
In 1998, with 25 employees and a turnover of £1.2 million, it was time to expand, and the company moved to its current location in Woore, South Cheshire: a seven-acre site with 11,000 square feet of works and warehouse space. Over the years, T-T has grown to encompass six divisions: T-T Pumps, T-T Controls & Automation, T-T Flow Valves, T-T Pumping Stations, T-T Service, and T-T Agricultural & Environmental. Each division provides single equipment solutions or works collaboratively to deliver complete liquid management systems.

Installing and maintaining a private pumping station can be a daunting task for those without prior experience in managing household waste, especially with owners of lift stations holding both environmental and legal duties of care in its operation. T-T’s five divisions collaborate to offer a comprehensive service that encompasses station design, installation, and commissioning. Its sixth division culminates in after-sales support; ensuring a stress-free process for clients.
“Over the last 65 years, T-T has built up a profitable business with an impressive product and service portfolio. During the years, we have gained a considerable number of skills and experiences, dealing with difficult media like effluents in environmentally sensitive applications and now we are very much in tune with the high standard demanded by clients and current environmental issues,” shares Bob Nash, Chairman. Fast forward to today and the organization is one of the UK’s leading companies in the wastewater management sector.
