NFU Mutual

Job Description

A growth opportunity for commercial minds

  • Self-employed new business and client management opportunity
  • Join an existing insurance business with future growth aspirations
  • Create bespoke commercial insurance solutions with the support of NFU Mutual
  • No capital investment required, just your passion and drive for growth.
  • At NFU Mutual, we've built our reputation on, and succeeded in, the agricultural sector. From this respected platform, we're now using our knowledge to not only support the ever-evolving agriculture sector but to develop thriving relationships and drive growth across commercial and high net worth clients.

    Partnering with the current Senior Agent of Newton Abbot who has a loyal following in the local Farming community, your focus will be on developing new business, expanding the agency's reach into new markets beyond Farming & Agri. Based strategically between Plymouth and Exeter, the agency is well placed to tap into a broad range of SME/Commercial enterprises as well high-net worth (HNW) prospects and private clients.

    This is an opportunity to showcase your ability to understand unique customer needs, provide tailored solutions and drive the future growth of an established local business.

    Your experience as an aspiring business leader

    This is a unique opportunity for an ambitious B2B sales/business development professional with first-class client-management skills to propel themselves into a broader leadership role. To succeed you will have:

  • Previous Insurance sector experience (preferred)
  • B2B sales/business development combined with account management skills
  • People management skills
  • Commercial acumen balanced with a strong customer ethos.
  • NFU Group Secretary

    The National Farmers Union (NFU) represents the voice of agriculture up to the highest levels, on both national and international platforms. For more than 110 years, the NFU and NFU Mutual have enjoyed a close relationship, working together to provide a first-class service to the farming and wider rural community.

    As an NFU Group Secretary you'll play a major role at the heart of your local farming community. You'll champion the interests of local farmers, arrange local meetings and events, recruit and retain members and keep them up-to-date on agricultural policy. With full backing from the NFU, you'll have access to expert advice and specialist support on everything from policy and increasing membership to marketing and media.

    Combining your duties as an NFU Group Secretary with your work as an Agent of NFU Mutual gives you the chance to make the most of new opportunities for your agency, as well as introducing what the NFU and NFU Mutual have to offer to a wider audience. The roles are intrinsically linked.

    Rewards and support

    As a self-employed Agent of NFU Mutual your earnings are based on the performance of the agency. However, this is a self-employed opportunity with a difference. Unlike most business ventures which demand start-up funding or venture buy-ins, our model requires zero upfront capital investment. In addition, you'll benefit from:

  • Uncapped earnings growth built into the agency financial structure. Your drive, vision and personal ambition are the only limit to future earning potential.
  • A ready-made and loyal customer base with an average renewal rate of 93%.
  • Comprehensive training and support to help you develop your skills and knowledge. You'll also benefit from the strength of the NFU Mutual brand and our extensive range of products and services.
  • Our commitment is to set you up for success and help you along the way too. Whilst it's your business to run, you'll also have access to a host of NFU Mutual support services to help you build a sustainable, profitable insurance business. This support includes sales, marketing, business insurance, financial planning, risk management services and so much more.
