Fit for a Queen
We learn more about Pacvac’s Royal appointment, and find out about the latest developments at the company.
'Fit for a Queen’ was the brief for the cleaning crew at Buckingham Palace as they scrubbed The Royal Family’s residence from top to toe, in preparation for the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations in June this year.
Whilst the team at Pacvac in Western Australia knew Palace staff used Pacvac backpack vacuum cleaners to maintain all 775 rooms of the residence, they were thrilled to see an image circulating the internet of a staff member using a Pacvac vacuum cleaner to prepare the famous Buckingham Palace Balcony for The Queen herself.
Urvin Seeburuth, Pacvac’s Head of Marketing, commented: “It was a real thrill – and a real source of pride for all of us to see (the photo) and it’s nice to think we contributed to the Queen’s big day.”
Professional cleaners of the UK have long supported traditional upright and canister vacuum cleaners, but as technology develops, we are seeing more studies and evidence showing that backpack vacuum cleaners make for a more productive and efficient clean.
Seeburuth continued: “Studies have shown a cordless backpack vacuum will clean more than four times faster than a corded upright or canister tub-vac.
“I’m sure there was plenty for the cleaners to do, so doing an excellent job in the shortest amount of time would have been important, and may have influenced The Palace staff’s choice in using our backpack vacuum machines.”
Pacvac’s Royal display came at a fitting time, as now more than ever the industry leaders in backpack vacuum technology are seeing professional cleaners and businesses choose backpack vacuum cleaners across the United Kingdom.
When the British Government rolled out strict safe travel guidelines for cleaner public transport across the UK, leading train operating company Greater Anglia responded by

choosing Pacvac backpack vacuum cleaners to hold their fleet of 250 trains to these new high standards of hygiene.
Martin Moran of Greater Anglia trains was asked why the company had chosen Pacvac’s cordless Velo as their cleaning machines of choice, to which he responded: “We’ve researched what’s the best possible equipment for us, and we’re confident that Pacvac’s cordless cleaners will help us keep our trains clean and disinfected.”
As cleaning staff are wearing the lightweight cordless backpack vacuum cleaners, they can easily clean trains between journeys with complete maneuverability to get into those hard to clean spaces, like under seats and on luggage racks.
With Velo weighing just 4.5kg, cleaning staff are often pleasantly surprised at how lightweight backpack vacuum cleaners are, especially considering through wearing the machines there’s no dragging around heavy canisters or hauling bulky upright cleaners up and down stairs.
The compact and lightweight nature of Velo is just one of the reasons it won the 2021 Australian Good Design award for Product Design in the Commercial and Industrial category.
The Australian Good Design Awards are one of the longest- running international design awards in the world, recognised by the World Design Organisation as Australia’s leading international design endorsement and promotion program, and has been running since 1958.
Rachel Wye, Good Design Australia’s General Manager, stated: “The Good Design Award Winner accolade is awarded to entries that, in the opinion of the judges, have satisfied the evaluation criteria for Good Design.”
Pacvac’s award entrant Velo was judged against such criteria across the categories of form, function, safety, sustainability, quality, commerciality and innovation. The features responsible for the machine winning this award
