Vic Smith Beds is very proud to be a sponsor of Max Leaver Racing

 

The Driver
Max Leaver will be entering the 2012 Mini Challenge as a rookie racer. His first taste of motorsport was at the age of 13 in his cousin’s kart at Rye House kart track… he was hooked. Since then Max has developed a fascination for cars and motorsport, even making it his day job. After a few track days in a race prepared Mini Cooper S. Max made the jump into motorsport and bought his first race car, a Mini Cooper. Max has tested at both Brands Hatch and Snetterton and was inside a second off the fastest lap achieved at a previous race meeting.

The Car
The ‘Club’ class car that Max will be racing is based on the road-going Mini Cooper.
Motorsport suspension, brakes, gearbox and tyres are used, as well as a full roll cage and tuned engine. All the cars are designed to be equal in each class, so driving skill determines who takes the chequered flag first.

The Team
This is a family run team, making it a friendly and welcoming place to be for both sponsors and their guests. The team consists of: Mark Leaver (Team Manger), Andrew Hull (Chief Engineer), Richard Hull (Team Mechanic and Data Engineer), Darrell Cripps (Mechanic), Sarah & Annie Leaver (Hospitality) & Karen McCarthy (Marketing). Being family run makes the cost of running the team minimal and all available sponsorship money would be spent in key areas such as car maintenance and testing.

The Challenge
The Mini Challenge is a single make series for the BMW Mini. The 2012 championship calendar is as follows:
14th April – Silverstone
7th May – Castle Combe
16th-17th June – Brands Hatch
30th-1st July – Snetterton
28th July – Oulton Park
15th-16th September – Brands Hatch GP
6th-7th October – Donington Park
Large grids of over 25 cars are seen at each round with close wheel to wheel racing. The Mini Challenge has proven to be such a popular championship that one of the leading Motorsport organisations, MSVR, has included the championship on its televised schedule
on Motors TV. It has also been selected to be part of the flagship race meetings, including the British round of the Formula Two championship at Silverstone and the Mini Festival at Brands Hatch. This therefore guarantees maximum exposure at a leading event and a primetime TV slot.

Delivery’s For Ladies – Safe Lady

Safe lady scheme came about through a need that we have identified in the market place. You have car insurance companies aimed at women only drivers, also you have mini cab car companies staffed only by women drivers. Well we would like to think as market leaders in the bed trade that we have come up with a new delivery service. If for any reason a lady feels happier or safe / or secure by having a female member of our staff along on delivery, please feel free to request this. It’s free of charge and even though our delivery staff are part of our company, not outside contractors,   you may be unhappy at the thought of two delivery men in your bedroom. Whether you have had a bad experience from a big chain & their delivery staff, or a small rude shop, or if it is a case of you’re having a bed delivered to your old Mum and you can’t get away from work & feel that your Mum would feel happier with a lady member of our staff there on the delivery with our delivery staff.

Reassurance is a wonderful thing.  Very often afterwards people say there was no need as the delivery men were fantastic but that’s not the point. The point is that a female member of the public, whether young or old feels comfortable on the delivery. Recently, a mum asked for this service for her daughter, moving from the Midlands to London, to an area she was unfamiliar with. The mum said they were going to buy the bed from us anyway, but as her daughter was feeling a bit homesick and vulnerable, this just gave her piece of mind.

Please let us know what you think of our service on Facebook – is this something you would use?

5 Great Top Tips From Vic Smith Beds When It Comes To Buying Your New Bed

Studies show that the greater your sleeping area, the better nights sleep you will have. You should sleep better in a Kingsize Bed than in a Double Bed.

  1.  “ORTHO” should means that this bed has a firm spring unit. Always try the beds for yourself.      
  2. Bad back Too soft a bed is wrong , but so is too firm a bed . A great combination is a firm spring with soft padding. The padding takes your shape, the springs then in turn support the padding .  
  3. Storage in your new bed makes good sense. There are three styles of storage -  Ottoman where the mattress lifts up and you can use the whole base as storage. Drawers in the side are great for easy access , ands the final one is slider doors on the side.
  4. Service –  will the shop take the new bed upstairs, remove your old bed and set up your new bed?
