🔒 Standing together against Tool Theft 🔒 Today, we were proud to co-host the Stop Tool Theft event in Westminster - a powerful gathering of tradespeople, cross-party MPs, and businesses united around one mission: to protect the tools that power Britain’s trades. 🏛️ Hosted by Amanda Martin MP and supported by both us and On The Tools, the event shone a light on the devastating impact tool theft has on livelihoods - and the urgent need for stronger safeguards. 👏 A special shout out to our very own Emma Grant, who represented us by delivering a passionate and insightful speech on why supporting our nation’s trades goes beyond business - they keep the UK running and deserve to work without the threat of theft. 🔧 We were inspired by the turnout and the conversations in the room. Thank you to everyone who came, shared their stories, and showed their support. Let’s keep the momentum going. Together, we can tackle tool theft. #StopToolTheft #Checkatrade #OnTheTools #TradesMatter #ToolSecurity  #ProtectOurTrades

A huge thank you to: ✅ Mark Elliott – S4G Drone Services ✅ Samuel Bowels – Pure Maintenance UK ✅ Steven & Alex Green – 24/7 Electrical From how we can add value beyond leads to the challenges and opportunities facing trades today, no topic was off the table.
