The reason none of the gear ever appears on ebay or whatever is that (if you haven't noticed) our biggest competition is companies based on traveller sites, the tree industry is probably 10% travellers and we provide their equipment in the entirety!

I was once told that a business with no signs is a sign of no business.

 

If you twist that on its head into terms of theft management no signs identifying the trade, admittedly you can not hide a chipper, but it may reduce awareness of yards etc to these type of people.

 

One thing i have always thought of though would be to remove the chipper chute when travelling back to the yard and have a tarpaulin made similiar to those that go over ifor williams trailers and disguise the chipper when returning to the yard.

 

Ultimately i think that employees in some cases need to be educated about the true costs implications and ease at which theft affects the business and can be carried out.

 

When my old man doesnt come to work with us, everything is taken into the garden, petrol climbing kit, tool box, rakes, ladders, wheel barrows, I leave nothing ever unattended, have even asked customers to keep an eye on kit for ten minutes or so whilst I just do this little bit of cleaning if i forget to do it prior to loading the van.

 

Monitoring the opportunities for theft is relentless and tiresome, but just has to be done. Once bitten twice smitten they say.

 

Do any of the larger companies charge staff an excess for theft which occurs on their shift?

 

Is it legal and feasible to monitor such excessses?
