I recently carried out free power tool forensic security marking at Jewson, Sowton where i handed out approx 60 SelectaDNA marking kits to trades people.
I did say about doing a similar event in Marsh Barton so after speaking to management at Toolstation, they've agreed that i can hold an event there on Mon 5th Nov from 8.30am onwards.
