Our Story
Previously we were known as SISS Insurance and became a trading name of BLW Insurance Brokers Ltd with effect from 1st January 2023.
We can trace our history back to the mid 1990’s when we first started providing pioneering and
specialist insurance cover for alarm installers as Stafford Knight Insurance services.
Mindful of our 30-year history and expertise in the SISS team, we moved across to BLW Insurance
Brokers to ensure an improved and consistent customer service as well as enhanced product capability.
We took the decision to rebrand our trading name to promote a more focussed approach for our
customers and clients, some of whom we have dealt with for many years. Alarminsure will provide the
opportunity for us to continue in our development of the market leading solution for the alarm,
electrical and security trade sector.
Alarminsure is a dynamic and forward-thinking business with a constant appetite for innovation and
strategy.
BLW Insurance Brokers Ltd are an independent Lloyds Broker, renowned for upholding the highest
standards of corporate citizenship and social responsibility wherever and whenever we do business.
