Job Description
A growth opportunity for commercial minds
At NFU Mutual, we've built our reputation on, and succeeded in, the agricultural sector. With a value of £15billion to the UK economy, agriculture is an ever-evolving sector and we're focused on developing our place within the sector even further.
As a Partner in the Honley NFU Mutual Agency, you'll be part of an insurance business that's at the heart of the local community. You'll be supporting our farming and rural customers to ensure they get the high levels of service they'd expect from NFU Mutual.
You'll use your understanding of farming and agriculture to help forge commercial alliances within this sector in the Yorkshire area.
This is a self-employed growth opportunity with the support of one of the UK's largest insurers. You'll have huge opportunities to develop professionally, to gain new skills and to learn from an already high performing team.
Your experience and ambitions for the future
You'll be working alongside the existing partners at Honley and will be part of the leadership team that is shaping the business and planning for the future. You'll use your passion for the agriculture sector to help create bespoke insurance solutions that meet the needs of the fast-paced agricultural world. You'll be hungry to grow this insurance business whilst also supporting existing customers.
The diversification and modernisation of agriculture in Yorkshire is your opportunity to thrive in this incredible sector. You'll achieve this by using your sales and people skills to build strong and lasting relationships with an ever-growing portfolio of farming and agricultural businesses. You'll also drive business growth beyond farming working with Small and Medium Enterprises across a range of sectors, along with High Net Worth clients. This self-employed role gives you the opportunity to grow your agency as far as you choose. There is an opportunity for you to really make an impact.
Building business partnerships
NFU Mutual is a top 10 UK insurance provider with a focus on building business relationships and putting our customers at the heart of what we do. Our mutuality is our difference. And it works. With a 95% renewal rate, our status and respect in the agricultural world and beyond provides the foundations on which to grow your business.
Your new office, in Honley, is home to a dedicated team of 11, who thrive in a culture where working towards the same goals and supporting growth through great sales is a given. This is an agency with a loyal customer base built on strong relationships and a commitment to quality service. Our business ambitions are set to push the agency even further forwards.
Rewards and support
As a self-employed Partner and Agent of NFU Mutual, your earnings depend on the agency performance. Building on a strong core farming market, we're now ready to develop further opportunities and future growth potential across the area. Your energy, drive, vision and personal ambition are the only limit to your future earning potential.
There's no capital investment required, just your passion and drive for growth and sales. Your reward will be earnings based on a share of the agency profits.
We'll set you up for success. You'll have access to the NFU Mutual support services you need to continue to build a sustainable, profitable insurance business. And you'll learn from the Senior Partners who will share their career experience and skills. Further support includes sales, marketing, business insurance, financial planning, and risk management services.
NFU Group Secretary
One of the other aspects of this opportunity is being appointed an NFU Group Secretary. You'll be the voice of the Union, bringing the agriculture community together and sharing best-practice and policy updates. With full backing from the NFU, you'll have access to expert advice and specialist support on everything from policy and increasing membership numbers to marketing and media. In this role you're supporting the needs of this active farming community and opening doors to future business opportunities for your agency.
