Genuine RADAR Key Relaunch: Now £7.95 for Two Tested Keys

Advice, Offers / Duncan Edwards

The genuine RADAR key has been relaunched in a new brass-plated format, offering the same compatibility and reliability at a lower price. Having worked with Tom Gordon and The Radar Key Company for over a decade — and sold thousands of keys without a single one returned as faulty — we’re pleased to reduce our two-key pack from £9.95 to £7.95. Beyond manufacturing, the company remains invested in maintaining lock standards and supporting accessible toilet location information. Reliable access depends on both a key that works and accurate data about where it can be used.

This is an established brand with global potential, not a niche disability project. All five Dragons declined to invest. The business isn’t weak; the Den was the wrong room. Active Hands

Charity shops using AI to ban resellers are harming disabled people and low-income shoppers

Business / Duncan Edwards

How charity shops are using AI to target resellers I spotted this (click to watch clip, full video is below) yesterday: a ‘thrift warehouse’ publicly congratulating itself for using artificial intelligence to identify and block resellers. Not improve pricing. Not train staff. Not make online listings better. Just surveillance. The implication was familiar: resellers are
