In a move to help prevent tool theft, Howdens is to give away free tool marking kits to tradespeople at two depots in Kent (Gillingham and Strood) on Wednesday 18th June as part of its popular national Big Howdens Trade Day.
Tool theft is an increasing issue for self-employed tradespeople, whose livelihoods rely on having the right tools to complete their jobs. Each toolkit can be used to mark up to 50 pieces of equipment, giving tradespeople extra peace of mind.
Will Hallett, Regional Director at Howdens, said: “We know that tool theft is a growing problem and a massive disruption for our trade customers. Our pilot scheme, as part of our national Trade Day, aims to support local tradespeople with free tool marking kits to give them reassurance and more protection.”
The free tool marking kits will be distributed on a first come, first served basis to local tradespeople visiting the depots as part of the Big Howdens Trade Day – when the trade kitchens supplier will offer customers discounts on selected products, including joinery and doors.
