What Pump Technology does

Pump Technology Ltd is a UK-based specialist distributor and manufacturer of water, wastewater and sewage pumping systems, founded in 1992 by Jeremy Brownlee and headquartered in Aldermaston, Berkshire. The company operates an employee share-ownership model and runs approximately 25 named staff across sales, application engineering, accounts, stores and services, with a stated headcount band of 11-50.

Its product portfolio combines proprietary ranges (DrainMajor and DrainMinor for wastewater, DrainKing for commercial wastewater, PumpMatic packaged sewage pumping stations, MiniMatic and Flushmaster) with multi-brand distribution rights covering Pentair Jung Pumpen, Grundfos, KSB, Xylem (Lowara and Flygt), Whale, Saniflo, Sulzer, Wilo, Caprari and 20+ other manufacturers. In-house tank manufacturing is performed through wholly-owned subsidiary Pegasus Pumps Ltd (established 1994), and marine sanitation is served through acquired subsidiary LeeSan (2014). The company is one of only two authorised Jung Pumpen distributors in the UK and claims the largest UK stock with same-day dispatch.

Commercially, Pump Technology runs a hybrid B2B GTM combining direct enterprise field sales to consulting engineers, contractors and housing developers, a 'One Stop Pump Shop' partnership model with merchants and electrical wholesalers (handling transactions up to £20,000), and a National Pumping Partners installation and 24/7 maintenance network. Pricing is quote-based and consultative, with no public price list. Revenue is generated from hardware sales (pumps, packaged stations, spares), professional services (application engineering, specification, commissioning, maintenance) and replacement supply. Customers include Tesco, Costa Coffee, KFC, Aldi, Marks & Spencer, Sainsbury's, Greggs, Waitrose, the NHS and Southern Water, with ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and JOSCAR certifications underpinning institutional credibility.
