Old Hall Performance Ltd (OHP) has purchased the assets of Trident Racing Supplies Limited and will continue business under the Trident name at its Silverstone base.
Making the announcement, Jim Morris, Managing Director of OHP, said: “This sale provides a great opportunity to continue OH’s expansion into the motorsport trade and provides customers – old and new – with the convenience of an iconic Silverstone location.
“Nick Appleton and Bill Bray have been remarkably successful in building the Trident name, and having decided to retire, they were keen to see the business continue to grow. Now, with the addition of OHP’s range of exclusive lubricants, fuels and impact safety selections, the Trident legacy will continue.”
Trident Racing Supplies’ name is synonymous with having provided the motorsport community with speciality parts, consumables and fasteners for over 30 years, and Nick Appleton was keen that the heritage that he and Bill Bray had created would continue: “You can call us old-fashioned but Bill and I were keen to see this business go to a good home, so to speak.
“So, when Jim and Cameron approached us, we felt that we were dealing with like-minded business people, who would continue the legacy we’ve created.”
Old Hall director and former president of Red Line Oil, Cameron Evans, said: “The knowledgeable staff at Trident will be a great asset to us, going forward, helping us broaden our reach and provide more support to the motorsport and automotive sectors. A true one-stop engineering resource, serving the motorsport community with high-quality products and service.”
