About

Pro-tect staff in safety gear standing on the side of the road

A trusted name in traffic management.

Founded in 2003, Pro-Tect has built a reputation as a trusted traffic management and training partner. We’ve since grown to a carefully selected team of over 25 experienced professionals, managing a fleet of 17 vehicles, who work alongside some of the country’s leading project managers and construction teams. Despite this growth, we’ve never lost touch with the values and personal approach that set Pro-Tect apart from other traffic management providers.

With a firm focus on continual safety education, Pro-Tect expanded to also become an industry-leading provider of traffic management and first aid training. We’re passionate about not only providing exceptional standards of safety to our clients today, but ensuring that future workers in our industry have the knowledge and expertise to confidently keep the public, their colleagues and their project sites safe.

The Pro-Tect vision.

Pro-Tect was founded by director Lauren Sherwin. With her father’s company, Pro-Drill often struggling to find adequate Traffic Management for their drilling works, Lauren saw and took the opportunity to start-up and run her own company.

Known for her trustworthy, relatable and knowledgeable approach, Lauren has continued to challenge the status-quo to become a respected advisor and leading safety trainer in the traffic management industry.

With almost two decades of experience behind her, it’s not surprising that Lauren is adept at problem solving and creating cost-effective solutions for our clients. Driven to see others achieve success, she is particularly passionate about sharing her own experience and supporting others through education and up-skilling in the industry.
