INDUSTRYNEWS SPONSORED BY UNION Spring cleaning time for locksmiths Spring is the traditional time for having a clear-out – and Steve Clarke says that locksmiths should begin with their refuelling. Marketing manager for The Fuelcard People, a Fuel Card Group company, he insists that it makes sense for any business using road transport. ‘It could be better’ “Some firms with vans or trucks have been using the same fuel cards for years, without ever taking a real look at better options. Some, unbelievably, are happy to pay pump prices. For anything else they buy, from tyres to teabags, they shop around for bargains. You would think that they would be equally keen on keeping down the cost of refuelling.” So confident is Steve that he has thrown out a bold challenge to the locksmith industry: whatever your current deal, it could be better. “I am absolutely sure that we will be able to find you a better deal,” he said. “It is “definitely Spring cleaning” time, so make a start with your fuel cards.” T: 0844 870 6942, E: [email protected], W: www.thefuelcardpeople.co.uk Kasp Secures Increased Profits Kasp®, the leading brand in security from Carl Kammerling International, has extended its award winning range through the introduction of the Old English Padlock, K100 series.
