Why does Your Protection Matter to us?
Out of the blue, despite feeling fit and healthy, my wife Jen began to experience symptoms that quickly got worse. A GP appointment led to a hospital referral and, a few weeks later, after a colonoscopy, the consultant sat us down in a quiet room and explained he’d found an abnormal lump he was sure was bowel cancer. His face said it all. The world stopped in those moments, and panic set in because this was a situation we never imagined we’d be in.
A few months later, Jen had a seven-hour bowel resection and spent time in intensive care. It was a long, challenging recovery, and the impact on our children and wider family was huge. The cancer had grown through her bowel wall and was more aggressive than first thought. Thankfully, it had not spread, and she recovered physically over about nine months – mentally, it took much longer.

Being a Mortgage Adviser (Every Mortgage Matters was only about two years old then), Jen had the foresight years earlier to fully protect our family with Life Cover, Critical Illness Cover and Income Protection. She received a lump sum from her critical illness policy and monthly payments from her income protection. I knew we had insurance, but I had no real idea what we were covered for or how it worked. As a supporting husband, the whole experience opened my eyes, and I often wondered what life would have been like if we’d had no protection in place.
During this time, I started having honest conversations with family and friends. Many either had no protection at all or didn’t understand what they were covered for. There was a distinct lack of awareness of what’s available in life and health insurance and the benefits a good adviser can offer. I wanted to create an insurance protection service that gave good advice, was simple and relatable, and clearly explained the value of protection in a way that reflected our core values – straight-talking, people-first, and with you for the long term.
Jen and I started Your Protection Matters because we never want people to find out the hard way that they are not properly covered. Our purpose is simple: to make protection easy to understand, to raise awareness of the types of cover available, and to give straightforward advice so that what matters most to you – your health, your home, your income and your family – is properly protected when life takes an unexpected turn.
