About Us

The People

Andrew Brown, Managing Director

Andrew has over 12 years' business and technology experience gained from large plc companies and leading edge software houses. His ability to convert a business challenge into a business solution is widely recognised in his field. At Progressive Computer Systems Ltd he worked with Robert Davison on pan-European IT systems for international companies requiring complex applications and systems integration. He acquired commercial systems experience whilst working on a number of  SME business solutions that were technologically advanced at the time. Pace Commerce Ltd was formed in April 2007 with Robert Davison, to provide high-end, web-based services to SMEs who require a quality web presence, but without the costs associated with using conventional software houses.

Robert Davison

Robert has over 30 years’ business and management experience working for Software Houses and one of the large Management Consultancy businesses. He started Progressive Computer Systems Ltd (PCSL) in 1995, growing the company over the years,  received a prestigious 'Deloitte’s Fast 50' award for one of the 50 fastest growing technology companies in the North. PCSL won the contracts to supply software for retail and cash handling to household names including Securicor G4S, Comet group plc, Glasgow City Council, South Staffordshire Water plc and Reg Vardy plc. The company was acquired by Sanderson Group plc in 2005 and he remained as Managing Director until early 2007.

The Strategy

Pace Commerce was set up to meet the demand for businesses requiring high quality eCommerce business solutions at an affordable cost.  We are both passionate about Software-as-a-Service applications and believe in delivering a business, and technology, solution to our customers rather than just the technology.

Our Unique Selling Point

We provide a comprehensive ecommerce webshop solution and Progress-based services at an affordable price, both backed with a high level of customer service.

The Proposition

We offer quality, value for money solutions that add real business benefit to your business now, and in the future. We know your desire to trade confidently and professionally on the Internet is of paramount importance. We understand it takes time to set-up and manage your Internet webshop. That's why we have taken the hassle out of ecommerce by providing a number of comprehensive packages to suit your particular needs. We ensure your site stands out from the crowd and attracts the traffic that is a key differentiator to sales growth.

Too many eCommerce sites work technically, but not from a business perspective. We minimise administration and maximise internet business. We take a wholesome view on what you are trying to achieve for your product/service, to ensure a memorable website experience for your prospects and customers alike. You have access to our business promotion experience so that you can make sure your webshop attracts the traffic it needs.

Customer service is in short supply on the Internet, people still require assistance, as well as convenience and value for money (note, it's not always the cheapest that sells!).

Retail Experience

Knowing you are dealing with a company that knows the retail business, as well as the technology, ensures Pace Retail delivers the customer experience to drive more sales and provides you with unparalleled support and service to keep you trading.

Pace Retail is the trading arm of Pace Commerce Limited (Company Registration: 06097794, VAT Registration: 898 5168 53).
