    Uniting The Trades Against Tool Theft

    We report from the 2025 Trades United Van Rally. Hundreds of tradespeople gathered in their vehicles to travel in convoy to Parliament Square to protest about a lack of action to combat tool theft. We hear from the attendees about some of their shocking experience of being victims of crime, and what they want government and the authorities to do. In our sponsored content, we talk to Chris Murray, Bosch UK Power Tools Trainer about the health and safety advances in the manufacturer’s accessories range. Bosch has committed to designing a whole range of solutions and the full attention of its research and development department has been brought to bear on its sanding, SDS drilling and angle grinder products. ----- Follow Trades United on instagram - instagram.com/tradesunited Visit the Bosch Professional website - bosch-professional.com/gb/en

    Finding the UK’s best bricklayer

    As an important part of British construction and British culture in general, it seems odd that there’s not really been much in the way of events celebrating bricklaying. It’s a trade that requires a lot of skill (and a very long time) to master. Three bricklayers that clearly thought the same are Ashley Francis, Joe Short and Jack Dawson, the founders of Super Trowel.  Now in its second year, the competition and exhibition, that looks to find the country’s best bricklayer, is back and bigger than before with the final taking place on August 8th in the Marshall Arena in Milton Keynes. Contestants will be judged on speed and precision as they tackle a 9-metre-long wall. There’s an eye watering first place prize totalling over £15,000 up for grabs. Take a listen as we chat to Ash, Joe and Jack about Super Trowel and all things bricklaying. Make sure you grab your tickets while you still can and may the best bricklayer win!
