Studying Production Engineering and starting out as a toolmaker early in his career, it was clear from a young age that Peter had a natural flare for engineering.
Often pulling apart clocks, motorbikes and everything in between he took his passion and followed his dream to move to Australia. At a young age Peter migrated to Melbourne, with nothing more than £50 in his pocket.
After a long career in senior engineering management roles around the world, within large corporate organisations such as Boeing and Siemens, Peter was keen to establish his own company.
Peter and Di bought Headland Machinery from Ted Headland in 1979. Initially a small-time machine tool company, they had visions of developing a product portfolio of large machine tools for the Australian market, adding the larger machinery brands such as TRUMPF, Makino, Nakamura-Tome, in the coming years.
Involved in sales for many years, Peter’s role is now providing strategic direction at the board level.
A pioneer of women in Australian manufacturing, Di was the first woman on the AMTIL board, spending 11 years as an active member, including four as President. As the first female board member, Di has and continues to be a strong advocate for promoting women in leadership within male dominant industries.
Purchasing Headland Machinery with Peter Kloe in 1979, Di played a pivotal role in moving Headland into its next stage of growth and building it into a viable business.
Studying Computer Science at University, Di played a central part in the movement towards adoption of CNC machining in Australian manufacturing. Postponing her career in education, Di’s key agenda then turned to training Headland’s customers in CNC programming.
From training, she then moved into strategy, supplier and customer relationship management, administration and finance, as CEO for many years. Di’s role is now focused on mentoring key managers and staff as well as working on special projects.
