he extensive GridPro range of interchangeable mounting plates and modules offers installers the ultimate in flexible, modular grid solutions, allowing them to create multi-function 1 to 24 gang plates which integrate with Scolmore’s vast Click wiring accessories range.
Unique to GridPro is the screw attachment feature, which means that no yoke is required for any modules when using 1-4 gang plates – the modules can be simply screwed directly onto the plates. This has the added benefit of allowing the installer to use standard back boxes. Additionally, all GridPro modules have a clipping feature, which makes for easy removal and assembly. The versatile GridPro plate can be populated to perform multiple tasks using a combination of GridPro and New Media modules. As well as a wide range of modules to choose from, all switch modules are 20A rated making them ideal for both domestic and commercial applications. The full GridPro range is available to view on the Scolmore Gorup website –

at Saniflo, the company consolidated its position as UK market leader in the macerator sector. He not only oversaw the upgrade of the complete domestic Saniflo range, but also the introduction of multiple new products in the commercial range, including underground pumps and floor standing lifting stations. He has also championed the Kinedo shower brand and oversaw the emergence of the all-in-one cubicle product offering that was pioneered by Kinedo. An avid cyclist, Tim, along with several of his Saniflo colleagues, has raised thousands for charity during epic cycle rides from the Saniflo offices to Paris; the last one undertaken in September 2023. He will now have more time to indulge his cycling passion and also intends to continue with various charity endeavours as well as being a volunteer for his local church. No doubt he will wonder how he used to find time to work. Everyone at Saniflo wishes Tim a long and happy retirement. He is succeeded by Dave Cook, ex-Baxi, who joined Saniflo in May 2023 and has been working alongside Tim as Sales Director.
