Luke Beasley
Sales Engineer
Day to day, I translate customer enquiries into clear technical solutions, working closely with sales and engineering to solve problems and build trusted relationships. I started in QA, learning quality checks, procedures, certification, and stock control before moving into sales, progressing from admin support to managing my own clients. A standout moment was helping launch ACV Europe BV and spending six months in The Netherlands, a huge vote of confidence. The culture is supportive, sociable, and full of perks and team events. Outside work I’m usually playing rugby, in the gym, or out with friends. If you’re considering joining – do it.

Our Process
Our valve stock and supply process ensures fast, reliable delivery of high-quality valves through our extensive inventory and global sourcing network. Every order is managed with precision, traceability, and rigorous quality control to support maintenance, operations, and complex project requirements.
Enquiry Review & Specification Check
We assess the application, service conditions, materials, pressure class, and compliance requirements. For specialist or technically challenging enquiries, our engineering team completes a detailed technical review to confirm suitability and define the correct product configuration.
Stock Assessment & Global Sourcing
Our teams review live inventory across UK and European warehouses to identify the most efficient supply route. Where required, we evaluate whether the enquiry can be fulfilled through engineered adaptations, in-house manufacturing capability, or controlled modification of existing stock. We can also source the product through our approved global supply network, aligned to AVL and specification requirements
Quotation
A clear, detailed quotation is provided, including technical specification, materials, documentation, pricing, and delivery. We discuss alternative options or clarifications before order placement to ensure full alignment
Order Processing
Once the order is received, specifications, standards, and documentation requirements are verified. Order acknowledgements and any supplier sub-orders are issued to align availability, sourcing, and timelines.
Quality Control & Inspection
Valves are inspected against drawings, order details, and certification requirements. Traceability, markings, materials, and documentation are verified. Any additional tests (such as hydrostatic, pneumatic, or functional) are carried out as specified.
Documentation Preparation
All required documents—including certificates, test reports, data sheets, and project-specific packs—are compiled in the correct format. Full documentation sets are produced for project-critical orders.
Packing
Valves are cleaned, protected, and securely packed in cartons, pallets, or ISPM15 export cases. All packing includes correct labelling, identification, and documentation for seamless receipt.
Dispatch & Logistics
Orders are dispatched via courier, haulier, or freight forwarder, or prepared for customer collection. All shipments include the required documentation to support quality, traceability, and project integration.
