Become a business partner in an established agency, shaping its future alongside two experienced Partners
Lead and develop a dedicated local team whilst building long-lasting relationships with customers and businesses at the heart of your community
Grow a thriving financial services business, combining the independence of business ownership with the support, strength and reputation of the NFU Mutual brand
-
Initial on-target earnings of up to £60,000, depending on experience, with uncapped earning potential as the business grows.
At NFU Mutual, our reputation is built on deep roots in the agricultural sector. From this respected foundation, we continue to support the evolving needs of farming communities while expanding into the commercial and high net worth markets. Our approach is relationship-led, and our ambition is clear: to expand our reach and impact across diverse sectors.
This is your opportunity to develop and grow a substantial customer portfolio, build strong relationships across the local community and commercial market, and work in partnership with fellow Agents in the NFU Mutual Mourneview agency.
While commercial growth is a key priority, we are equally looking for someone who can contribute to the overall leadership of the agency and become a trusted partner within the business.
The role is broad; you will get to work with diverse clients, deliver tailored insurance solutions, and help drive the next phase of growth for your agency.
Whether you are new to management or a proven leader, this could be the perfect opportunity to run a ready-made business, with full support from the current Agents and dedicated team of staff.
This opportunity is ideally suited to ambitious business leaders, experienced insurance professionals and high-performing sales professionals who are ready to help shape the future success of an established business.
If that isn’t you, don’t be put off. We encourage you to apply if you have the passion, potential and desire to build a successful business, along with the following transferable skills:
-
Strong relationship management skills, ideally developed in B2B, client-facing or community-based roles
-
Confident communication to influence, build trust and engage business owners, senior decision-makers and local stakeholders
-
Good planning and organisation skills to work collaboratively, take ownership and deliver results
-
Commercial awareness, including an understanding of what drives business performance and how to turn opportunities into growth.
Whilst not essential, a personal interest or connection to farming, agriculture or rural affairs is helpful, given the agency’s farming heritage and the Assistant Group Manager responsibilities with the Ulster Farmers’ Union (see below).
Alongside your main focus as an Insurance Agent of NFU Mutual you’ll be employed by the Ulster Farmers’ Union as an Assistant Group Manager. This places you at the heart of your local farming community—supporting with arranging meetings and events, recruiting and retaining members, and keeping them up to date on agricultural policy. You’ll have full backing from the UFU, with access to expert advice and specialist support.
You’ll inherit an established and fully operational business with no up-front capital investment required. From day one, you’ll benefit from:
-
Initial on-target earnings of up to £60,000, depending on experience, with uncapped earning potential as the business grows. Your drive and ambition are the only limits to your future earning potential
-
A ready-made, loyal client base with an average of 9 in 10 customers choosing to renew with NFU Mutual
-
Our commitment to set you up for success and help you along the way. Whilst it’s your business to run, you’ll have access to a host of NFU Mutual training and support services including sales, marketing, financial planning, and more.
