Fighting back against the plant theft lockdown boom, with security expert Ian Elliott of utility and construction specialist Clancy Docwra

In this latest edition of the Content With Media  "Supporting the Construction and Plant Sectors" #podcast series, hosted by Peter Haddock and sponsored by Ritchie Bros. Auctioneers, Peter talks to Ian Elliott, UK Group Head of Security for utility services and construction specialist, Clancey Docwra.  He explains how his team is tackling plant theft by making equipment 'As unattractive as possible'. Hear about the issues Clancy continue to face with theft. And how they are using a combination of the Datatag ID Ltd CESAR Scheme, immobilisers, telemetry tracking, advanced operator identity cards and some paint, to create a layered approach to theft prevention. Not forgetting  'Stopping the thieves at the fence' with the latest active thermal camera technology. Ian also asks the question 'Do you know the cost of theft to your business?'  He explains how this is not just due to lost equipment, lost work hours and insurance costs, but the impact of reputational damage. This is a must-listen for every plant and equipment owner in the construction sector, as Ian is definitely on the front line and coming out fighting.
