Senior Partner, Commercial & Farming Insurance Business
- NFU Mutual
- Full Time
- Elgin
Job Description
Are you a dynamic, strategic sales leader ready to make your mark in the Scottish Highlands?
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 enterprises, from large £multi-million corporations through to SME's and sole traders.
As the Senior Partner in NFU Mutual Inverness and Elgin agency, you'll be the strategic figurehead needed to steer this business to new heights. You'll be key to expanding the agency beyond its core farming portfolio to secure its future as a leading B2B insurance provider across the region.
This is a self-employed opportunity that comes with a loyal client base with renewal rates of over 95%; prospects of significant and sustained new business growth; plus, the support and backing of one of the UK's most trusted insurers.

Business development: an experienced sales leader with commercial acumen and a successful track record of new business generation.
In addition to these core skills, a personal interest in rural affairs or the local farming community will help your credibility further in your role as Group Secretary for the National Farming Union, Scotland.
Group Secretary, NFU Scotland (NFUS)
One of the other aspects of this opportunity is being appointed NFUS Group Secretary. With support from the two existing Group Secretary partners in the Inverness and Elgin agency, you'll be the collective voice of the Union, bringing the agriculture community together and sharing best-practice and policy updates. With full backing from the NFUS, 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 the farming community and opening doors to future business opportunities for your agency.
Rewards and support
As a self-employed Senior Partner and 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:
