Protector offers Property, Liability and Fleet insurance products for large and medium-sized companies and for the Public Sector in Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland and the UK. Today, we have over 420 employees and offices in Oslo, Stockholm, Copenhagen, Helsinki, Manchester and London. Protector began providing insurance on 1 January 2004. Since then, the company has demonstrated rapid growth and development, and is today among the medium-sized enterprises on the Oslo Stock Exchange. Our goal is to continue the strong growth. We are the challenger in the insurance market, and we endeavour to maintain this role through our cost management and selective distribution strategy.
