Highlights from this week's #TradesTalk

If you’re on Twitter, you might have seen #TradesTalk, which is a weekly Q&A looking at topics that are relevant to tradespeople in the UK. The chat is on Tuesdays at 8pm and this week’s discussion was about heating engineer Peter Booth‘s #noVANber campaign against van and tool theft, which is calling on the government to investigate what can be done about these crimes.

Please do sign the petition.

Here’s a round up of the questions from the Twitter chat and some of the best answers.
