The two companies has merged to make it easier for T&T to get in to the European marked, at least recording to the press statement, you can see a bit of the press statement here :
Thomas and Thomas, recognised the world over as a manufacturer of some of the finest fly rods, have merged their operation with Sharpe's to enable the sharing of distribution platforms in both Europe and North America. Lon Deckard welcomes the deal as a strategic success. "The need for consolidation is clear and this move will enable Thomas and Thomas to develop at a faster rate by allowing access to greater capital and marketing power." Sharpe's comprehensive range will now be distributed through the Greenfield site of Thomas and Thomas across North America.

I agree with Deb on this. I also wonder if I get to
