For our fleet customers a stolen vehicle means that their livelihood is at risk. This was the case for our customer in the middle of October when one of their delivery drivers had their Peugeot Expert van stolen whilst they were working. They immediately reported it to their company and they contacted the Global Telemetrics Secure Control Centre with crime reference number ready.

It’s Monday afternoon and talk at Global Telemetrics Secure Control Centre turns to the car owned by one of our shareholders Paul Bailey. Paul has a beautiful collection of cars and we as team members at Global Telemetrics are very lucky to get to see some of his collection on days when he is at the office.

On this day the car in question was a Porsche Taycan Turbo S and as a team we decided we should capture some pictures of it and highlight how electric cars are being stolen. Tuesday afternoon, the pictures of this wonderful machine were posted and later that night, low and behold, our customer’s BMW i4 was stolen during the nigh

Now we have entered the autumn months, the days begin to get shorter and the nights longer, we are now beginning to see caravans and motorhomes head to their winter homes back to storage

For many customers this will provide peace of mind and they will believe their vehicles to be safe behind gated properties. For the most part this will of course be correct, however, in our experience it is sadly not a guarantee.

Welcome to the third edition of In Conversation With….

For this edition, we interviewed our Head of Technical Dan. Dan is often described as knowing everything and able to solve any problem, we sat down to get to know Dan a little bit more.

For this edition, we interviewed our Customer Services Manager, Cath. Cath is not only the star of some of our marketing videos but an integral part of the inner workings of Global Telemetrics.

Dark nights are approaching, Autumn weather is here, as September ends and Spooky Season begins, the nightmare continues for car owners as theft figures continue to rise.

After already surpassing last year’s £23m recovery total during August, we are now in new territory as far as value recovered for the year is concerned. Thanks to an additional £3m worth of vehicles with our devices recovered in September, Global Telemetrics have now recovered just over £28m worth of vehicles for 2022.

It’s not often you get the call to say it’s time to locate and find a car with the initials RR and it’s a Rolls Royce not a Range Rover, but this is exactly what happened to Chris in our Secure Control Centre at the end of September.

Around 3am in the morning, Chris took a call to say that the customers property had been broken into and their security gates smashed open. As a result, thieves had stolen the customers Rolls Royce Cullinan.

At the end of September one straight forward recovery led to a big haul, as our Repatriations Team alongside the police discovered 7 stolen vehicles at the same location!

Picture the scene, it’s Friday evening, all your work is done and you are about to settle down for a nice relaxing weekend, ‘RING RING’ your phone sounds and Global Telemetrics is the name on the screen. 

Alicia from the Stolen Vehicle Recovery team informed our customer that his Timberwolf Wood Chipper was currently being moved. The customer confirmed that this shouldn’t be moving and was indeed stolen. Alicia immediately advised the customer to report it as stolen to the police and obtain a crime reference number whilst she prepped our dedicated Repatriations Team.

Both July and August saw a great run of recoveries for Global Telemetrics, where alongside the tracked vehicle other vehicles were recovered at the same time.
This Range Rover theft would again prove to lead to other discoveries! At the end of July, our dedicated control centre was alerted to the theft of a Range Rover Autobiography belonging to one of our customers.
