Why clients choose us

Outstanding customer satisfaction

“Salary Protect was a lifeline when was diagnosed with prostate cancer. I work overtime regularly, and I need to. The payment averaging my earnings meant I could still cover all my bills. And when there were some complications after treatment I was able to extend my time off, by just uploading a new Fitness to Work note.”

Outstanding business satisfaction

“Income protection has been a gap in our benefits package offer that we have wanted to fill. There was nothing available to us until Salary Protect launched.”
