Handling expert honoured
A former world record-breaking weightlifter and founder of an innovative health and safety business has been recognised as part of the Queen’s Birthday Honours 2014.
Davy Snowdon, founder and managing director of Oxfordshire-based manual handling company Pristine Condition, has been awarded an MBE for the business’s contribution to occupational health and safety.
Founded in 1996, Pristine Condition applies the mechanics of Olympic weightlifting and anatomical principles to the workplace to create revolutionary, enjoyable and completely bespoke training programmes that meet operational requirements, overcome logistical challenges and fit budgetary constraints.
”The business has gone from strength to strength over the past eighteen years and to be recognised as part of the Queen’s Birthday Honours list is a real privilege,” explained Davy Snowdon. “The health and wellbeing of workers is at the heart of everything we do, and we work hard to ensure that we fully understand and support the ever-changing needs of our customers. By listening to the market and investing in our own staff, we have introduced unique, habit-changing tools that are really making a difference to the health of the nation and easing the strain on the NHS.
