Description
-
Pace Microtechnology Ltd was a Bradford-based company that originally sold software for early Apple personal computers. During the 1980s the company began designing and manufacturing data
communication modems and later satellite TV receivers and video recorders.
By the late 1990s and into the 21st century, PACE collaborated with major, well-known tech giants such as BSkyB and Amstrad. This local business had become an international multi-million-pound enterprise and put Pace at the front of the digital revolution.
From the late 1980s Pace based its business in Salts Mill. They became the first major tenant of local entrepreneur Jonathan Silver who purchased Salts Mill in the late 1980s following its closure as a working textile mill. The huge success of Pace and the company's presence in Salts Mill played an important role in the transformation of Saltaire from an old, decaying industrial mill and village into a thriving modern enterprise and desireable place to live.
