PACE Valves was founded by Anthony Haldenby in 1981 during a time in which the industry was predominantly male driven. From the outset, PACE Valves adopted the philosophy of providing an avenue for our customers to acquire fit for purpose products at a competitive price and within a defined timeframe. This philosophy still holds true today. When Charlotte Vaughan, daughter of Anthony Haldenby, took ownership of the business three years ago it was, and still is, her focus to adhere to the standards previously put in place by her father.
PACE Valves believes in the empowerment of women in the workplace and has strived to become BEE Level 2 Compliant and has achieved the goal of being 100% Female Owned with 51% being Black Female Owned. Further to this, more than 50% of the staff complement at PACE Valves is comprised of female professionals who bring effective communication and networking, creativity, and a spirit of inspiration.
Charlotte’s collaborative style of management inspires her employees to give their best as she effortlessly manages crises and always strives to learn something from them.
In today’s global market scenario, where communication and collaboration are highly valued to achieve success, women have a considerable advantage in the workplace. Women are inclusive, compassionate and believe in the power and efficiency of team work.
Due to our attention to detail, solutions driven approach and technical expertise, this has situated PACE Valves at the forefront of the latest projects across the African continent. “We have positioned ourselves as industry leaders in the mining space worldwide, and are not afraid to get our hands dirty in a predominantly male sector” said Charlotte.
“Part of how we achieve this is having formed strategic partnerships with both local and international companies in order to assist with the African market’s growing need for both high and low pressure valves. Cross border projects have revitalised the valve industry following the negative impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic as a whole”.
