Create bespoke insurance solutions with the support of NFU Mutual.
At NFU Mutual, we’ve built our reputation on, and succeeded in, the agricultural sector. From this respected platform, we’re now using our knowledge to not only support the ever-evolving agriculture sector but to drive growth across multiple commercial sectors.
As an Agent in the Tunbridge Wells agency, you’ll join an existing 23-strong team in an insurance business that’s been identified as having some of the largest growth potential across the NFU Mutual Agency Network. Tunbridge Wells is an agency with over 300 NFU members, huge growth ambitions and an abundance of untapped potential in a large geographical area, covering both rural and suburban areas in West Kent and East Sussex.
This is an opportunity to join two experienced partners and lead a successful insurance business with the support of one of the UK’s leading insurers.
Alongside the existing partners in this multi-site insurance agency – Tunbridge Wells and Flimwell, you’ll assist in growing the business at pace. You’ll have the freedom to build on your leadership skills and help develop a robust business strategy for the agency’s future. You’ll achieve this by using your strong track record in leadership and management, with experience of either running your own business or a business function, to inspire strong and lasting relationships with an ever-growing mixed portfolio of clients. These could include farming, high net worth, commercial and large clients with complex needs.
With the support of NFU Mutual, the current partners and a diverse client base, you’ll assist in leading the direction of business growth, inspiring the team through your demonstrated strong values, ambitious plans and passion for customer care.
NFU Mutual is a top 10 UK insurance provider with a focus on building business 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 the business.
Your new office is home to a team of over 23 people, who thrive in a culture where working towards the same goals and supporting growth through great sales is a given.
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 Assistant 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:
-
Estimated 1st year OTE of up to £95k, with uncapped earnings growth built into the agency financial structure.
-
Your drive, vision and personal ambition are the only limit to future earnings potential.
-
A ready-made and loyal customer base with a renewal rate of 95%
-
Our commitment is 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 fantastic growth opportunity, balancing your current leadership skills with the backing of an already successful team and NFU Mutual, a hugely respected insurance business.
If you're interested in this opportunity, please submit your application as early as possible, as we may close this vacancy early if we receive sufficient applications.
