About Tech Valve Africa
The Company
Tech Valve Africa was founded in 2021 by Angela Duckworth and Rita Adshade with a plan to provide quality new valves to the African continent. The primary goal of the company is to sell new valves to an established customer base through established suppliers within the African continent. Both Angela and Rita have over 80 years of combined experience working in Africa. This experience is key to the early success of the female-run business.
While supplying quality valves throughout Africa is a top priority, Tech Valve Africa is focused on appointing and establishing well-trained and experienced agencies. Growing a trusted, reliable and reputable Pan-African network of agencies is crucial to supporting an increasing number of customers. Passing on and sharing accumulative knowledge of valves, valve tailing and pipework to existing partners and the next generation sits at the heart of Tech Valve Africa’s philosophy.
Developing secure and successful agents, each operating under the Tech Valve Africa umbrella improves the customer experience throughout Africa.
