07 December 2005 - Sortimo

DIY television presenter, (former first Big Brother winner) and company director of Avent Productions, Craig Phillips has had two of his Vauxhall Vivaros installed with Sortimo Globelyst van racking systems.

Sortimo International Ltd equipped the two Vauxhall Vivaros earlier this year while Craig Phillips was filming the DIY programme, Conversion with Avent Productions for the Discovery Home & Leisure Channel.

Two Vauxhall Vivaros were fitted with Sortimo Globelyst units comprising of three shelving systems with trough units, long component trays, anti-rattle mats, dividers, Mobil-Boxes, S-Boxes and Euros-Boxes for safe easy storage, three service cases of differing depths, lashing straps, tool case clamping device, long drawers with 100% telescopic drawer slides for full capacity use and two over the wheel-arch cupboards with a pull up flap, wall cladding and anti-slip Soboflex® safety flooring.

''Sortimo’s sales technician Andrew Green was very helpful and provided us with a good quality service, surveying our vehicles and making recommendations with regard to layout for the most suitable van racking accessories for our needs,'' - Craig Phillips, Director of Avent Productions.

The Sortimo equipped Vivaros were used by presenter Craig Phillips and carpenter Rod Butler and featured in Conversion. The programme showed the redevelopment of a dilapidated Grade II-listed Victorian house in Liverpool, which was converted into four luxury apartments, with refurbished cellars, mezzanines and a sunken conservatory. The Vivaros will continue to be used by Avent Productions, an independent production company based in the North West of England, providing high quality programmes to UK broadcasters.
