The temperature control switch is mounted onto the new radiator, down towards the bottom , on north American cars it is on the driver side of the rad, there is a factory plug that connects to the switch. Peak down there with a flashlight and see if there is a connector plugged into it.
If everything is okay with the switch, then try to see if the rad fans are working.

Thanks I will have a look.
Just noticed a massive amount of heat coming from the log manifold and heating everything up really quickly. I have just had the manifold
repaired and all the heat wrap taken off as it contributed to it initially cracking. Previously - with all the heat wrap on there was very little
heat under the hood. I noticed the manifold really toasting the side of the engine block.
Maybe this is the issue ?

Since you're in the UK why not Zircotec the exhaust manifold?
