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 Cambridge Agency of NFU Mutual, you’ll join an already successful business with large ambitions, continuing to grow it in all areas of insurance. You will be responsible for setting the direction of the business and driving business growth with a strong commercial focus, capitalising on the significant opportunity the business has.
The Cambridge Agency has significant opportunity to grow their commercial book, and to build on the already well established HNW clients.
As well as this, you’ll play an active role in the local farming community and support NFU members as a local Group Secretary.
You’ll nurture existing customer relationships as well as developing new ones and will work with an experienced Partner and a knowledgeable team to support a diverse range of customers, creating insurance solutions that meet their 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.
Supported by an experienced Partner, you’ll be part of the agency leadership team. You’ll have:
-
Strong track record of consultative sales, new business development and relationship management
-
Commercial expertise with business awareness across industry
-
Experience of developing and delivering strategic initiatives
-
Experience of inspiring and leading teams, to drive towards a common goal
-
Confident operating with business owners and decision makers
-
A customer ethos that places new and existing clients at the heart of the business and delivering a quality service
-
You don’t need to come from a farming background, but you will need the credibility and interest to operate confidently in a rural, relationship-led market.
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.
As a self-employed 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, as Partner of the Cambridge Agency of NFU Mutual you’ll benefit from:
-
A 1st year estimated OTE of circa £100,000 with genuine prospects for growth.
-
A ready-made and loyal customer base with exceptional renewal rates.
-
Future earnings growth potential thanks to the agency’s growth prospects. Your drive, ambition and vision are the only limits to your future earning potential.
-
Our commitment to set you up for success and help you along the way too. Whilst it’s your business to run, you’ll have access to a host of NFU Mutual support services including sales, marketing, financial planning and so much more.
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.
If you're interested in this Agent opportunity, please submit your application as early as possible. Please be aware that we may close this vacancy early if we receive sufficient applications for the role.
