Pay rise in the department for some and not other

The equal pay is a dead duck. It's possible to have multiple different contracts all working the same job. Unless you have a protected characteristic you won't get anywhere.

There is a bigger issue. You say that you were switched to company B's terms and conditions. Then ask for a copy. You won't know what they are until you have a copy. You also need to ask who your company B manager is. The company A management can assign you work and supervise you but GDPR means they should have no access to your HR records, pay rates, sick record, etc. These things are under the data control of company B. Its possible you have been a company B employee in name only and that you actually work for company A. If that looks a possibility then a solicitor might be needed. But certainly not yet.

PS. Just to say I recently had a week off sick. On return my shift started whilst the afternoon shift were in as the official nights start time is an hour behind my nights start time. The manager who conducted my return to work interview ask me if I was fit to return to work then closed the file to be followed up by a nights manager. He explained that under GDPR he wasn't allowed to see my records, even though he is a manager and works for the same company as I do. I expressed surprise and he quoted GDPR. He also stated that if the company takes on any agency workers as full time staff they cannot just walk down the corridor and see their records. They need to write to the agency and request a reference. 

If you are employed by company B then you deal with them. Start by asking when you pay revue is.

Thanks. Good call re: asking B when our pay review will be, as this really is the bottom line. Interesting angle on GDPR. I think we are or have been working for company B In name only and it’s only now company A are passing the responsibilities for us to B. Possibly due to GDPR..... this is why I posted, to get as much angle as possible.
The whole is greater than the sum of parts.... thanks.
