NFU Mutual Agent opportunity in Honiton
As Agent of the Honiton agency you’ll have the opportunity to run and develop an existing business in partnership with a Senior Agent of the NFU Mutual Agency network.
Highly respected within the local farming community, the Honiton agency provides a solid foundation for you to build on. Well known locally, the agency has a large and loyal customer base, providing services to an attractive mix of farming, and increasingly, non-farming businesses.
Building on the success of the agency you’ll have the opportunity to nurture existing customer relationships whilst driving new business growth across the local farming community and wider commercial markets. In addition, you’ll be joining an active and loyal NFU branch where you’ll find plenty of growth potential and will further strengthen the bond and elevate your standing in the local community.
About You
Ready to be your own boss, you relish the opportunity to create business plans and implement strategies that provide a professional and personal service to a broad range of clients, both consumer/private clients and SME/commercial businesses.
An excellent communicator, combined with commercial acumen and sales leadership experience, you're great with people from a wide range of backgrounds and can easily spot opportunities to develop new business.
Collaborative, positive and supportive, you know how to recruit, reward and develop a strong team to help grow your business whilst ensuring all relevant regulations and standards of compliance are met.
A strong link to the local farming community or related agricultural industries is highly desirable given the significance of the Honiton agency's core farming base.
NFU Group Secretary
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.
Combining your duties as a Group Secretary with your work as an Agent of NFU Mutual, you’ll have the chance to identify and capitalise on opportunities for new business and introduce what the NFU and NFU Mutual have to offer to a wider audience. The roles are intrinsically linked.
As an NFU Group Secretary, you will be placed at the heart of the local farming and business community. This will enable you to make meaningful, profitable connections with farmers, growers, and the rural community at large, with a focus on growing NFU membership alongside growing your NFU Mutual agency. By developing these strong relationships, you’ll be representing and supporting rural people, sharing expertise, standing up for the countryside and playing a valuable part in sustaining the UK’s agricultural industry.
Rewards & Benefits
You’ll be joining an established business in an existing office, without the need to make any up-front capital investment.
As a self-employed Agent, your income will be built into the Agency financial structure. Your drive, vision and personal ambition are the only limit to your future earning potential.
This self-employed opportunity gives you the autonomy to grow an existing business with the backing of a major organisation whilst enjoying the freedom of being your own boss.
As well as investment support, you’ll also have access to a full range of courses at our dedicated Training Academy; including sales, business and finance planning, team recruitment and NFU Mutual products.
