Security professionals across the UK can now access savings and exclusive rewards through the Protect Card, the nation’s first dedicated discount and rewards program designed exclusively for the security sector. Officially launched on December 1, 2024, the Protect Card ensures those who tirelessly safeguard businesses, events, and public spaces are recognised with meaningful benefits.
With over 450,000 licensed security professionals and 350,000 cyber security workers in the UK, the Protect Card bridges the gap in reward programs often reserved for emergency services, filling a critical void left by the exclusion of security workers from major discount initiatives such as the Blue Light Card. For just £5 per year, members gain access to a host of savings across essential services, retail, leisure, and more.
Why Protect Card is Unique:
Comprehensive Discounts: Members can save on gym memberships, cinemas, high street shopping, travel, security equipment, and even legal and financial support.
Tailored to Security Needs: Up to 30% off SIA training and discounts on uniforms and other industry essentials.
Inclusive Access: The Protect Card offers benefits previously unavailable to security professionals, empowering the workforce with greater purchasing power.
Supporting an Underserved Sector
“The Protect Card represents a significant step forward in acknowledging the invaluable contributions of security professionals,” said Daniel Garnham, Co-Founder of Protect Card Ltd and General Secretary of the Security Industry Federation. “We are committed to ensuring these hardworking individuals receive the recognition and rewards they deserve.”
Daniel, a seasoned expert with over 20 years of experience in law enforcement and cybersecurity, founded the Protect Card in response to the challenges faced by security personnel, particularly the lack of accessible benefits compared to other frontline workers. This initiative also aligns with his broader mission to improve working conditions within the industry.
