Vanliners

About Vanliners 

Established in 2004 by founder Dave Rees, Vanliners began as a small, one-man operation driven by a clear vision to provide high-quality, practical vehicle conversion solutions for working businesses. With a strong background in the commercial vehicle industry and a focus on craftsmanship, Dave set out to build a company that prioritised reliability, attention to detail, and real-world functionality over mass production.

Starting from modest beginnings, Vanliners quickly gained a reputation for delivering dependable lining kits and racking solutions that were built to last. As demand grew, so did the scope of the business. What began as a small workshop operation steadily evolved into a full-service conversion specialist, expanding into bespoke builds, fleet solutions, accessories, and specialist vehicle bodies.

This consistent growth has been driven by long-term customer relationships, word-of-mouth reputation, and an ongoing commitment to improving both service and capability. As the business expanded, Vanliners invested heavily in its infrastructure, processes, and people, enabling us to scale production while maintaining high standards across every vehicle that leaves our facility.

Today, that growth has culminated in the development of our “Centre of Excellence” in Hindley Green, Wigan, a purpose-built facility designed to support high-volume production, specialist conversions, and fleet projects all under one roof. This investment allows us to efficiently manage complex contracts while maintaining the quality and consistency Vanliners is known for.

Our facility is designed to be a complete one-stop shop for fleet and commercial vehicle conversions, allowing customers to manage every stage of their vehicle build in one place. From vehicle lining and racking to bespoke conversions, accessories, graphics, and specialist fleet solutions, Vanliners delivers efficient turnaround times, consistent quality, and dependable service for businesses of all sizes.

From a small family-run start-up to one of the UK’s leading light commercial vehicle conversion specialists, Vanliners continues to grow with the same principles established by Dave Rees at the very beginning: quality, practicality, and trust at the core of every build.

To support customers nationwide, Vanliners operates a dedicated off-site fitting team that travels across the country, bringing our expertise and services directly to businesses at their own premises.

We believe investing in people is just as important as investing in facilities and equipment. Training and development play a key role in the continued growth of our business, and we are committed to creating opportunities for the next generation entering our industry. Through apprenticeships and hands-on training, we provide individuals with the chance to develop practical skills, gain industry experience, and build long-term careers within the light commercial vehicle sector. By combining experienced leadership with ongoing development, we continue to strengthen our workforce while maintaining the high standards of quality and workmanship that Vanliners is known for across the UK.
