Howdens to hand out tool marking kits to help protect tradespeople from theft

Howdens will give away free tool marking kits to tradespeople at two depots in Kent on 18 June, as part of its Big Howdens Trade Day.

The free tool marking kits will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis to local tradespeople visiting the Gillingham and Strood depots. Each kit can be used to mark up to 50 pieces of equipment.

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.”
