Working together to help protect communities

We have the assurance of working with BHIB Insurance Brokers, one of the leading independent commercial insurance brokers with a proud history of over 50 years and our principal insurance broker partner, to support councils in all parts of their daily activities.”

Ashwin Mistry, executive chairman of BHIB Insurance Brokers, said: “We are delighted to have the opportunity to work in genuine partnership with NALC and are fully committed to providing the highest level of professional insurance and risk management solutions. Our bespoke affinities team, have the detailed knowledge and experience to ensure the best interests of local councils are maintained at all times.”
