This week, Off The Job: A Tradesman Podcast goes on the road with CT1 to the Wickes Tool Marking Event in St Albans — a powerful initiative aimed at protecting tradespeople from tool theft.
Filmed and recorded live in partnership with CT1, SelectaDNA, and Fix Radio, Pete and Keiran join forces with the trade community to raise awareness around a growing epidemic: tool theft, which affects 2 in 5 tradespeople across the UK.
In this episode, we speak with industry leaders, van security experts, tradesmen and women on the frontlines, and those affected by theft, including a powerful testimony from one tradesman whose experience nearly cost him his life.
Expect real stories, practical advice, and an inside look at how tool marking, DNA kits, and better awareness are changing the game for tradespeople.
CT1 sponsored this episode to support their ongoing mission to protect UK trades.
👉 Subscribe now and never miss a moment from the trade’s most relatable podcast.
