Victor Floorcare machines support cleaning operations at Manchester Airport
Shropshire-based Victor Floorcare is supporting cleaning operations at Manchester Airport, with its floor cleaning machines now being used across one of the UK’s busiest transport hubs.
Manchester Airport welcomes millions of passengers every year, creating a demanding environment where cleanliness, safety and operational efficiency are critical.
Victor Floorcare has been manufacturing specialist floor cleaning machinery in the UK since 1946 and is recognised for producing robust, easy-to-use equipment designed to perform in challenging environments.
Managing Director Edward Blackledge said seeing Victor machines operating within such a high-profile location was a significant milestone for the business.
He said: “Airports present some of the most demanding cleaning environments imaginable. Passenger numbers are high, operational activity is continuous, and cleanliness standards must be maintained around the clock.
“To see Victor machines being used in an environment such as Manchester Airport is a fantastic endorsement of our products and the principles on which they are built.
“Facilities teams operating in these environments need equipment that is reliable, easy to use and capable of delivering consistent results day after day.”
Blackledge said the appointment reflected a growing focus within facilities management on equipment reliability and operational efficiency.
He said: “When cleaning teams are working in busy public environments, downtime is not an option. Equipment has to perform consistently, be straightforward to operate and minimise disruption to day-to-day operations.
“Procurement decisions are increasingly being driven by lifetime value rather than initial purchase price alone. Organisations want equipment that will remain dependable for years, supported by responsive service and readily available parts.
“That philosophy has always been at the heart of the Victor approach.”
The development follows a period of continued growth for the company, which has recently secured a number of high-profile contracts across the facilities management, education and logistics sectors.
Blackledge also highlighted the importance of British manufacturing in helping organisations maintain confidence in their supply chains.
He said: “We design and manufacture our machines here in Shropshire, which gives us full control over quality and allows us to respond quickly to customer requirements.
“For organisations managing complex estates and critical infrastructure, reliability and support are every bit as important as cleaning performance.
“We are proud to be supporting teams working in some of the UK’s busiest and most demanding environments and look forward to continuing to build relationships across the transport sector.”
