The trade assets and liabilities of S-Tech Insurance Services Ltd were transferred into Alan Boswell Insurance Brokers Ltd at the start of the year, following a process seen over the last few years of simplifying and clarifying our corporate structure.
In January 2023 our Boston office moved to a new premises which is more suited for an office environment. In September 2023 our Bury office moved to larger premises nearer the centre of town.
We remain committed to providing our clients with an ever-growing range of services and skills. Our aim is to deliver an exceptional level of service and we are grateful to our highly committed and professional staff for their contribution towards achieving this.
The Group continued to make significant donations to the Alan Boswell Group Charitable Trust. In the year to 31/03/2023, another £656,532 was donated to charity.
