About us

With over 30 years of experience in the protection insurance industry, we use this knowledge to advise you of products to suit your personal, business and sports protection insurance needs.

Personal, Business & Sports Protection Insurance Specialists

Properly Protected isn’t an insurance provider.

We’re a ‘whole of market’ intermediary, which means it’s our job to advise on and arrange insurance for our clients.

With Simon Farquhar, Director of Properly Protected, bringing over 30 years of experience in the protection insurance industry to the firm, it means Properly Protected has amassed years of experience in advising and arranging protection insurance cover to suit the individual needs and circumstances of its clients.

Income Protection, Life Insurance, Critical Illness Cover, Family Income Benefit, Business Protection and personal insurances – even for those involved with ‘high risk’ jobs, sports or hobbies – Properly Protected can advise you of what your suitable options are.

Our team has years of combined experience in the financial services industry and is dedicated to providing you with a first class service.
