Telematics and the 2012 London Olympics | 0844 264 0730

Sprint Telematics — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 10:50:53 +0000

This year sees what is promised as going to be the best Olympics ever, the 2012 London Olympics. Companies that are based close to the centres where the Olympics are being held, such as the Olympic Village in Stratford, East London, are being warned that traffic will be heavily disrupted and that traffic jams could be the norm for the duration of the Olympics.

Olympics minister Hugh Robertson recently stressed that the transport network in London has benefited from “significant investment” to guarantee it has the capacity to cope with the influx of visitors next summer. However, he urged businesses to be creative with their own travel plans in order to keep everything operating smoothly when the competition is underway.

Businesses who have to have deliveries are being urged to change their delivery times from during the day to during the night. Companies in London have been running trials on taking deliveries during the small hours without upsetting people who live around their stores. This has been successful and no-one has complained. Combine this with a start-of-the-art telematics device and driver training and the Olympics can be the success it deserves.

With an absolutely gorgeous October weekend behind us, we have already had a phone call saying that they wished they had bought and installed our product as their vehicle was stolen at the weekend!

Agricultural theft on the rise | 0844 264 0730

Sprint Telematics — Mon, 08 Aug 2011 10:49:21 +0000

Theft is estimated to have cost the UK farming industry £49.7m in 2010, a major rural insurer says. NFU Mutual said “agri-crime” on Britain’s farms has risen from £41m in 2009, with power tools the most stolen item in 2010. Thieves were most likely to strike at night and raid outbuildings, it said.

The NFU Mutual Rural Crime Survey (RCS) was based on the 2010 claims experience of its branch offices in rural towns and villages. It found that two-thirds of branches had reported an increase in rural crime in their area. In England, theft cost farmers £42.8m in 2010, up 26% on the previous year.

In Scotland, the cost of such claims had risen by 57% since 2009, to £1.4m, while in Northern Ireland it had risen by 28% to £3.8m. But in Wales, the cost was £1.7m – down by 48% from the previous year.

The survey found that power tools such as chainsaws, electric drills and lawnmowers topped the most stolen items list in 2010. While thieves tended to target farms and businesses during broad daylight to steal tractors, heating oil, scrap metal and livestock, 59% of branches said the most common time of day for thieves to act was between midnight and 0600.

‘Vigilance’

Nearly 60% said thefts from farms or outbuildings was the biggest problem, while 12% said garden sheds and garages attracted thieves. When asked about the main reason thieves target the countryside, 41% of branches said the sparse area made it difficult to police, while 32% claimed there was less chance of thieves being seen.

Nearly a quarter of branches thought relaxed attitudes towards to security measures could also be a factor. Lindsay Sinclair, chief executive of NFU Mutual, said: “Whether it’s the recession, tighter security in towns, or the rise in oil, meat and scrap metal prices countryside people are feeling the blight of rural crime on their land. However, country people are not taking this scourge lying down.

“We’ve already seen that by working with the police forces and manufacturers, tractor theft and organised rural crime can be tackled head-on. A united front against crime in the countryside will help to protect communities from being targeted further with vigilance as the watchword.”
