We're pleased to share some fantastic news for customers looking to improve the security of their tools and equipment.

The BUNKER Van Storage range has been recognised by the industry after winning the prestigious Security Product of the Year award at the DIY Week Awards 2026. The award highlights innovative products that provide genuine benefits to professional tradespeople, installers and serious DIY users, making BUNKER one of the standout security products of the year.

Designed to Help Combat Tool Theft

Tool theft continues to be one of the biggest challenges facing tradespeople across the UK, with thousands of thefts reported every year and losses running into hundreds of millions of pounds. Beyond the financial cost, stolen tools often mean missed jobs, lost income and significant disruption for businesses.

The BUNKER Van Storage range has been developed specifically to help tackle this problem by providing robust, professionally engineered storage solutions that are built to resist attack while keeping valuable equipment organised and protected.

Why the Judges Took Notice

The award-winning BUNKER range combines a number of security features that set it apart from conventional van storage systems, including:

• Heavy-duty steel construction for maximum durability.
• Police-backed Secured by Design accreditation.
• Sold Secure Silver certification.
• Integrated holders for Bluetooth tracking devices such as Apple AirTag or Samsung SmartTag.
• Protective foam-lined interiors to safeguard tools during transport.
• Professional-quality locking mechanisms designed to resist forced entry.

These features work together to provide an additional layer of protection for the tools that professionals rely on every day.

More Than Just Van Storage

Although designed primarily for commercial vehicles, BUNKER storage products are equally suitable for garages, workshops and secure home storage.

Whether you're an electrician, plumber, mechanic, builder, landscaper or mobile engineer, protecting expensive tools has never been more important.
