Didn’t know that re. bailiffs, thanks - guess that makes sense really
It's a little more complicated than simply "don't take trade tools", as that applies only to individuals and only to the first £1350 of value. It's designed to protect those tradesmen who ordinarily keep their own personal hand tools from being put out of work by debt enforcement, something which is in nobody's interest. If the debt was incurred by a company or partnership, it doesn't apply. Of course, the tools in the Isen factory might not even belong to the same entity as incurred the debt.

Very sad state of affairs all round, hope those out of pocket get it sorted and move on.
