With over 8 million followers across their digital platforms, On The Tools connects and empowers the nation’s tradespeople through engaging content, industry insights, and direct support. Their mission is connecting construction to improve the lives of all tradespeople in the UK.
Through this partnership, On The Tools will support Kingsbridge who offer insurance solutions that meet the real-world needs of UK tradespeople, giving them confidence that they’re covered on the job—and that their tools are protected if the worst happens. This is more needed than ever, against a backdrop of growing concerns about tool theft.
On The Tools recently found that 85% of tradespeople worry daily or weekly about tool theft, so the perks of Kingsbridge’s Public Liability insurance are much-needed.
Public Liability Insurance with Built-In Tool Protection
Kingsbridge’s all-in-one trades insurance package is designed to safeguard tradespeople from the unexpected, offering essential covers such as Public Liability, Employer’s Liability, and optional protections like Hired and Owned Plant, Contract Works, and Professional Indemnity.
However, Kingsbridge goes further by including additional market-leading perks at no extra cost:
- Up to £2,500 worth of tool and equipment cover included as standard (with in-van cover!).
- 24-hour payout on accepted tool theft claims, helping to get tradespeople back to work faster.
- No excess and no hidden fees on most covered professions, reducing unexpected costs.
- UK-based in-house specialists, with quick, direct access to brokers and a dedicated claims team for rapid resolution.
- All essential covers wrapped into a single, simple package, making it easy and affordable for tradespeople to protect their business.

“Trade businesses especially are built on a foundation of hard work, skill, and expertise, and we think that’s worth some proper protection.”
