Builders Merchants Journal – BMJ Publishing to Builders Merchants and the UK merchanting industry for more than 95 years
Builders’ merchant Travis Perkins has announced a 15% discount on hire products in three Sussex branches for those who have had their tools stolen this year.
The Travis Perkins Hire discount is part of a larger Travis Perkins campaign, which has seen the merchant team up with Sussex Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) Katy Bourne and Sussex Police to give away 1,000 SelectaDNA tool marking kits to tradespeople in the county.
Managing director of Travis Perkins Hire, Ian Sharman-Jones, said: “We are delighted to be able to give tradespeople who have been on the receiving end of tool theft a helping hand to get back on their feet.
“Tool theft can have a devastating impact on the lives of people in the industry, and given our unique position at Travis Perkins Hire, we find ourselves in a place where we can offer some support and assistance in getting them back to work as quickly as possible.
“The problem is rife and too many tools are stolen every day across the country. We are hopeful our offer will benefit tradespeople greatly and the wider campaign will lower the number of thefts in the Sussex region.”
