The Underserved Tradespeople Market

For far too long, tradespeople in the UK have faced an uphill battle when it comes to insurance coverage.

At the core of ARMD’s offering is a comprehensive insurance protection package that combines proactive protection and rapid reimbursement. A groundbreaking approach, this package aims to revolutionize the way tradespeople safeguard their livelihoods. By addressing both prevention and compensation, ARMD provides a holistic solution that significantly minimizes the financial burden and stress associated with theft or damage to tools.

Partnership and Underwriting Capacity

ARMD operates as a Managing General Agent (MGA) and has partnered with Sparta Insurance Services, harnessing their expertise and underwriting capacity at Lloyd’s.

“ARMD Tools In Transit” Product Features

The “ARMD Tools In Transit” insurance product goes beyond traditional coverage by offering a range of features specifically tailored to tradespeople. In addition to up to £10,000 coverage for tools left securely in a van, the product includes an app-based tool inventory. This innovative tool inventory system allows tradespeople to meticulously log their tools and receipts, streamlining the claims process and providing an additional layer of protection against theft and loss.

Additional Offering: ARMD Guard

As an added layer of protection, ARMD also offers ARMD Guard, a smart alarm and vehicle tracker that is seamlessly integrated with the ‘ARMD Tools In Transit’ product. ARMD Guard provides instant notifications to users’ mobile phones if their van or tools are compromised. This real-time alert system empowers tradespeople to take immediate action in case of theft or unauthorized access to their tools, minimizing potential losses and ensuring a swift response.

ARMD is thrilled to be partnering with Sparta Insurance Services and their broker partners across the UK for the launch of their first broker insurance product for tradespeople.
