100th Year celebrations!

P&V is very pleased to be celebrating its 100th Anniversary this year and we’re obviously very proud to have reached this major milestone.

We see it as a testimony to the work of all our employees, past and present and to the support and trust of our owners, Mike Brunner and his late father Fred. Above all, to the support of our customers and trading partners around the World.

As part of the celebrations, we recently hosted a series of Open Days, when we welcomed more than 80 customers and dealers from most of our markets, here in the UK, across the whole of Europe, Asia, Southern Africa and South America. The Open Days were a great opportunity, not only to show our visitors the new production facilities we’ve installed but also to discuss future developments together and of course, to say thanks for all the support we receive.

Being 100 years old, as you’d expect, we try to think long term and that’s always our philosophy when we enter into our business relationships. Our oldest dealer, Oswald Record, has worked with us since 1924 and we’ve worked with many of our International dealers for several decades. We’re very proud that in those commercial relationships, we’ve also been able to develop strong personal friendships along the way.

Thanks once again to everyone involved and here’s to the next 100 years!

New website

With our proud history in the Mining and Construction Tools Industry, Padley & Venables is once again moving with the times.

You may have already seen that Padley & Venables has a new-look website which we were very proud to launch at Bauma 2010.

We hope you like the new style but we are also excited and delighted to tell you that the web site launch is just the first step! We will be introducing many new features over the next few months.

Improving the efficiency and speed of our enquiry process, we will offer our catalogues online. No more searching for the catalogue you know you had but now can’t find! Simply download and print out the pages of the catalogue you actually need!

All you need to know about Padley & Venables is available at the click of a mouse, so what are you waiting for? Sign up for updates and we’ll let you know of product and information changes as they happen.

Of course, printed catalogues will still be available and can be obtained by simply filling in the online enquiry form. Let us know what you need and we’ll send you the printed version.

We look forward to hearing from you!
