Job Description
A growth opportunity for commercial minds
At NFU Mutual, we've built our reputation on, and succeeded in, the agricultural sector. From this respected platform, we've evolved our expertise to build our presence across the wider commercial landscape, providing tailored solutions to a range of enterprises from local independents and SMEs through to larger £multi-million complex corporations.
Our expansion into the commercial arena allows you to play a pivotal role as an agency Partner of this prominent Devon-based Financial Services provider. You'll join the current agency partners to help run a large, high-performing insurance business with an impressively loyal client base across Personal and Commercial Lines, a growing proportion of which is non-farming and high-net worth (HNW).
Your leadership experience and commercial flair
With the support of four experienced agency Partners and a highly engaged team of almost 30 staff, you'll be walking into a fully optimised business with a clear plan on future growth. You'll inherit a significant renewal book of clients to nurture, and you'll play a pivotal role in developing and acquiring new commercial clients across an expanding range of business sectors. The agency's future in Commercial Lines will very much depend on you.

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.
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 self-employed business ventures which demand start-up funding or venture buy-ins, our model requires zero upfront capital investment. In addition, you'll benefit from:
