Your experience and commercial flair

You’ll combine your understanding of the agriculture sector and your leadership skills to help create bespoke insurance solutions that meet the needs of the fast-paced agricultural world. You’ll be a catalyst to grow this insurance business at pace.
The diversification and modernisation of agriculture in the southeast is your opportunity to thrive in this incredible sector. You’ll achieve this by using your leadership and people skills to build strong and lasting relationships with an ever-growing portfolio of large agricultural businesses. You’ll also drive business growth beyond farming, tapping into local hotspots of High Net Worth and Small and Medium Enterprises across a range of sectors. This self-employed opportunity gives you the independence to grow your agency as far as you choose with your partners. There is plenty of scope for change and this is an opportunity for you to really make an impact.

Your new office in Earls Colne is home to a small team of 5, who thrive in a culture where working towards the same goals and supporting growth through great sales is a given.

We’ll set you up for success. Whilst this is your agency, you’ll also have access to the NFU Mutual support services you need to build a sustainable, profitable insurance business. This support includes sales, marketing, business insurance, financial planning, and risk management services.
