Our Story
BLOCKABOX has been designed and is produced in the United Kingdom by Andrew Pickersgill, a retired Fire Service manager who developed the product based on evidence and experiences gathered throughout a 30 year career of front line operational firefighting working for Nottinghamshire Fire & Rescue Service.
"I developed the product to reduce the risk to the public from anti-social behaviour and arson attacks which sadly are on the increase in the United Kingdom. I have witnessed first hand the devastation and damage these types of incidents cause and I felt compelled to develop a product that would help address this issue."
Applications For Use
BLOCKABOX is a premium anti arson letterbox blocker and was originally designed and developed to prevent and reduce arson related incidents but over time it's use has grown, seeing police forces, local council authorities and private landlords using the product to reduce crime and anti-social behaviour and to protect void or empty properties.
REDUCING & PREVENTING ARSON ATTACKS
BLOCKABOX anti arson letterbox is currently being used by a number of United Kingdom Fire & Rescue Services and is being utilised on a regular basis to provide an anti arson solution for letterboxes preventing threats to vulnerable individuals and families.
Due to it's compact design, BLOCKABOX is easily carried on front line fire appliances and carried by arson reduction teams to support fire & rescue service prevention activity.
DETERRING CRIME &
ANTI-SOCIAL BEHAVIOUR
