THE Thomas Wright Thorite Group is having a makeover at its 10 branches in the North of England.

The compressed air and pneumatics specialist, which has a branch on the Raikes Lane industrial estate, Bolton, is introducing new depot signs and van livery.

Roy Molyneux, the Bolton branch supervisor, said the new identity was part of a major restructuring exercise which recently saw an extension of opening hours. The group, which is more than 100-years-old, is the country's longest-established supplier of compressed air products.
