Press & Media — Titan Depot in the News
Titan Depot in the Press
Titan Depot has been featured in national UK media for our work in protective clothing and our knife-awareness campaign, which aims to protect young people and frontline workers from the rising threat of knife crime in the UK.
Our founder, Dean Dawe, created Titan Depot's Junior range of Kevlar-lined clothing after his stepson was robbed at knifepoint — a story that attracted wide media attention and sparked a conversation about accessible personal protection for ordinary people.
