Protect Europe

What Protect Europe does

Protect Europe's business model is straightforward professional services staffing. Revenue is generated by charging clients fees for deployed personnel, with staff employed under fixed contracts and payroll handled internally. Pricing is quote-based and negotiated per project, depending on personnel type, required certifications, duration, and volume; no public rate cards are disclosed and engagements range from short-term capacity top-ups to multi-year framework contracts. Distribution is entirely direct B2B sales, with no self-serve, marketplace, or reseller channels; customer acquisition is driven by website contact forms, phone outreach, email, and a content/news blog covering regulatory topics such as asbestos bans. Target customers are Dutch construction and infrastructure contractors (e.g., Dusseldorp Groep, AsbestLand, AsbestCare, Ardesch, Anton van Dijk), industrial facilities in petrochemical, food, and healthcare sectors, and property/facility managers. The company positions itself as a family business emphasizing long-term relationships, with compliance credentials (VCA, VCU, NEN-4401) and four sub-brands (Protect Facility, Protect Infra, Protect Bouw/Asbest/Sloop, Protect Cleaning) enabling cross-sell across multiple service verticals.
