A spokesman for Hempsted, Gloucester-based Rutherfords Skip Hire says: "We have been shopping around over the past few years and will continue to do so when our current contract expres."
In May, a 7.5-tonne Iveco worth £7,000 was stolen from the group's yard. Although it was eventually tracked down by the police, the insurer still had to pay £1,500 for the recovery of the vehicle.
"The more these incidents happen, the less attractive you become to an insurer," the spokesman continues.
In addition to the vehicle theft, the group has also fallen prey to the practice of diesel siphoning. it now strives to ensure that any vehicle tanks left unguarded are practically empty. "It is still going to happen, but thieves have less to take so we, therefore, have less to report."
