The protection divide

There’s a growing concern in the protection industry about the lack of financial security for working women.

Evolving working patterns in the UK mean that a third of Britain’s working mothers are now the main breadwinner in their family¹, however a recent study by Aegon showed that nearly half of working women don’t have any form of protection in place²

Income protection at The Exeter

We know the positive and life changing impact our income protection products can have on our customers’ lives.

Our products are flexible to the needs of working women, providing Guaranteed Insurability Options included as standard as well as short and long term policy breaks.

Bring the facts to life

Last year we introduced a case study – Mary’s story – to help you bring to life the importance of financial protection for working women.

Mary’s story

As the main breadwinner in her relationship, it was important to Mary that she was financially secure if her health ever let her down. When she was diagnosed with breast cancer, Mary described it as a ‘bolt out of the blue’. Income protection by The Exeter provided invaluable support against this unexpected life event, helping Mary and her family through her treatment and in her gradual return to work.
