Recently, Guardian Alarm was named SDM’s Dealer of the Year. SDM spoke with Brent Uhl, president & CEO, Guardian Alarm, about the company’s Dealer of the Year win — and why 2025 was Guardian’s year. Uhl expands on the company’s culture — specifically the company’s “One Team” approach, though Uhl says this is one of eight core tenants of Guardian’s company culture.
One of the most standout aspects of Guardian’s operations was the company’s approach to metrics — which Uhl says plays into their company’s core eight beliefs. “We want to measure ourselves against ourselves and continually get better. One of the ‘core eights’ is Evolve and Adapt, which is really about continual improvement. Everyone’s like, ‘Oh man, are we going to hit the finish line?’ And I’m the one that always tells them, ‘There is no finish line. Sorry, we’re going to keep running as hard and fast as we can.’”
Uhl also gives insight into Guardian’s approach to acquisition, following the recent announcements of both the company’s acquisition of ProAlert in Cincinnati and it’s acquisition of SDG in Columbus, Ohio.
