Welcome to The kbbreview Podcast, your host is Andy Davies as always and this is episode five of season 12.
Today we're looking at a subject that has been completely eye-opening for us It's an issue affecting installers and we confess we had no idea just how big a problem it is until we started looking into it.
And that is…tool theft.
It's about as base a problem as you can get, the tools of your trade, worth thousands of pounds in some cases, getting nicked from your van.
The impact is obvious on your immediate ability to work, but the resultant cost of not just replacing the tools but also getting the van patched up and your rocketing insurance rates are just as bad.
And then, of course, there's permanent and very real anxiety that it might happen again every time you park up and that can have a significant effect on mental health.
It really is that big a deal.
So we'll be hearing the personal stories of three installers who have shocking stories to tell about it happening to them, what the cost both financially and personally has been and what, if anything, can be done about it.
Today's episode is brought to you with the support of our very good friends at Lawcris. They lead the field in wood based panel products, laminates and edgings with big brands such as Emporio Skin, Kronospan and many more. With over 40 vehicles in their fleet, they can provide next day delivery on all stocked products. You can find out all about them at lawcris.co.uk.
