Well Edwards coaches operate National express services 201/202 Swansea - Cardiff - Bristol - Heathrow - Gatwick Airports as well as services 509 Cardiff - London.
First Cymru no longer operate any National express services having lost the contracts to Edwards
The Haverfordwest - London service is operated by Silcox coaches I believe while East Yorkshire coaches operate the 322/323 Scarborough - Cardiff - Aberdare/Brecon and Hull - Swansea services.
National Express do operate some services in house so I would expect that the Birmingham - Gatwick service is either operated by National Express themselves or perhaps another local operater perhaps Rotala.
I think Wessex Connect/South Glouceshire coaches operate some services from Bristol to London Victoria

First Cymru occasionally operate extras for National Express since they lost the contract, but this is rare but can be seen happening on occasion.
6 of those coaches previously used on the service are with First Aircoach in Ireland, 2 have been returned off lease whilst others have been withdrawn or distributed around the group.

According to this, De Courcey do one Birmingham-Gatwick per day. This is a Flights Hallmark coach on the 210.
Bruce's of Salsburgh do a lot of work for National Express and Citylink, Parks don't do as much National Express as they used to, with all their Citylink/Megabus/Parks commitments.

I found this a while ago, but I'm not sure how up-to-date it is now, though.

Well the names certainly aren't up to date. Bournemouth Transport hasn't existed since 2005 (it became Transdev Yellow Buses, and is now just Yellow Buses).

Most of the National Express work in Bristol and Bath is done by a company called South Gloucestershire Bus and Coach. They took over routes previously operated by First Group such as the 040 Bristol-London, 200 Bristol-Gatwick and 403 Bath Spa-London.
In addition they also operate cross country routes such as the 330 Penzance-Nottingham and 339 Westward Ho-Grimsby which were taken on after the previous operators ceased trading(Premiere for the 330 and Hookways for the 339). On these routes, vehicle changeovers seem to take place at Bristol with through passengers being required to swap coaches.
