As a Partner in the Hertford Agency, you’ll be at the heart of a highly respected insurance business with strong roots in the local community. You’ll work with a diverse client base across commercial, high net worth and agricultural sectors, helping businesses and individuals protect what matters most while delivering the exceptional service standards that define NFU Mutual.
You’ll bring strong commercial awareness and relationship-building skills, using them to identify opportunities, grow market share and develop lasting client partnerships. As part of the agency leadership team, you’ll help shape strategy, drive business growth and play a key role in the agency’s continued success.
This is a self-employed opportunity with the backing of one of the UK’s most trusted insurers. You’ll benefit from professional development opportunities, access to specialist support and the chance to work alongside a high-performing team.
You’ll play a pivotal role in the Hertford Agency, joining the leadership team to help shape the business and drive its future direction. We’re looking for someone with strong commercial instincts, a proven ability to build relationships and the ambition to grow a successful business.
A significant part of the opportunity will be focused on developing commercial opportunities across the region. Working with SME, corporate and high-value clients, you’ll use your sales expertise and relationship-building skills to generate new business, strengthen existing customer relationships and expand the agency’s presence within the local market.
Alongside this commercial focus, you’ll support an established agricultural and rural portfolio, helping customers navigate an evolving business landscape. Whether working with established farming businesses, entrepreneurs or commercial organisations, you’ll build trusted partnerships that deliver long-term value for both clients and the agency.
NFU Mutual is a top 10 UK insurance provider with a focus on building 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, located near Royston, is home to a dedicated team of 24 professionals who thrive in a collaborative, goal-driven environment. Here, growth is fuelled by a shared commitment to delivering outstanding service and driving strong sales performance.
The agency has built an exceptionally loyal customer base, thanks to long-standing relationships and a reputation for quality. You’ll be joining a business where customers are not only supportive but genuinely value the service they receive. With ambitious plans for the future, this is a great time to be part of a team that’s ready to take the agency to the next level.
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 with a first year OTE of £100,000.
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.
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.
This is a ‘best of both worlds’ opportunity, balancing the flexibility of self-employment with the backing of an already successful team and NFU Mutual, a hugely respected insurance business.
