Pristine Condition Supports Veitchi Flooring Operatives with Bespoke Manual Handling Training

At Pristine Condition International, we pride ourselves on developing bespoke training that delivers real, lasting impact. One of our standout collaborations in the construction sector has been with Veitchi Flooring, part of the wider Veitchi Group—one of the UK’s longest established subcontractors.

Recognising the physical demands faced by floorlayers day in, day out, Veitchi approached us with a clear goal: protect their operatives from long-term back and knee strain caused by repetitive manual tasks.

Led by our founder and CEO, Davy Snowdon MBE—a former Olympic conditioning expert who supported athletes across two successive Olympic Games—we designed a customised manual handling programme tailored specifically to the flooring trade.

The training addressed real-world scenarios that Veitchi operatives face on site:

• Lifting and carrying rolls of vinyl
• Transporting bags of compound and materials
• Working in low postures and confined areas

According to John Brown, Managing Director of Veitchi Flooring:

“The guys did the course and now when I visit them onsite, they always say the changes Pristine Condition inspired were very simple yet very necessary. They were needed.”

This feedback reflects our core mission: to deliver manual handling training that is fun, engaging, memorable, and truly relevant — driving real behavioural change.

If your team operates in physically demanding environments, let’s explore how our scientifically proven methods can deliver results for your workforce too.
