A firm which designs locks to protect lorry drivers is going from strength to strength.

Husband-and-wife team John and Debbie Jones, who run Protekdor, based in Shennington, near Banbury, are travelling across Europe to meet haulage firms interested in ordering their security devices.

The firm was started by Mr Jones after he suffered two robberies while sleeping in his truck.

He designed Kabgard, which acts as a locking device for the doors and windows of lorry cabs, making it impossible for them to be opened from the outside.

The security device has now been redesigned to make it lighter and easier to use. Protekdor has also produced Lokgard, to protect external locks.

Mrs Jones recently travelled to Italy, and next year Mr Jones will be meeting firms in Belgium and Germany to discuss the firm's security devices.

Mrs Jones said: "It's been hard work getting the product off the ground but people are taking us seriously now. Lokgard has far greater potential.

"We've also had calls from drivers who've been saved from attack by our products."
