Tool Theft & Security

Tool theft costs UK tradespeople millions every year. This section has been put together in partnership with Frankie and the team at Stolen Tools UK. Whether you've been hit or you want to make sure you're not next, start here.

I'm a tradesman and the founder of Stolen Tools UK, a platform dedicated to raising awareness about tool theft. After losing £4,000 worth of tools in 2022 — an experience that impacted my business and my livelihood — I made it my mission to help other tradespeople protect themselves. Through Stolen Tools UK, I share practical advice on van security, build community support and campaign for change at both local and national levels. I now speak at events across the UK, giving tradespeople a voice and leading the fight against tool theft.
