Job Description
A growth opportunity for commercial leaders
At NFU Mutual, we've built our reputation on, and succeeded in, the agricultural sector. From this respected platform we're now leveraging our heritage and expertise to protect a wider portfolio of non-farming commercial clients, from large £multi-million Corporates through to SME's and sole traders.
As a Partner of the North Lakes & Appleby NFU Mutual Agency, you'll join a multi-site business with strong foundations and exciting growth potential. You'll play a key role in driving the success of the agency across all areas of insurance, identifying opportunities to grow and shape its future.
Alongside this, you'll be an active presence in the local farming community, supporting NFU members in your role as a Group Secretary.
You'll build and strengthen relationships with both existing and new customers, working alongside experienced Partners and a knowledgeable team to deliver tailored insurance solutions that meet a wide range of needs.
For more complex or unusual requirements, you'll have the support of the NFU Mutual Wholesale Broking and Outplacement team, who'll go out to the wider insurance markets to create bespoke insurance solutions for new and existing clients.
This is a self-employed opportunity that comes with a loyal client base, prospects of significant and sustained new business growth; plus, the support and backing of one of the UK's most trusted insurers.
Your experience and commercial leadership expertise
Supported by experienced Partners, you'll be part of the agency leadership team. Combining your knowledge and passion of the farming sector and/or rural affairs, you'll have:
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.
