Job Location : Elgin, UK
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 Senior Partner in the Inverness and Elgin NFU Mutual Agency, you’ll be the strategic figurehead needed to steer this business to new heights. You’ll be key to expanding the agency beyond its core farming portfolio to secure a future as a leading farming and commercial insurance provider across the region. 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 with renewal rates of over 95%; prospects of significant and sustained new business growth; plus, the support and backing of one of the UK’s most trusted insurers.
Your experience as a strategic leaderThis is a 360-degree leadership opportunity, one that requires strategic sales leadership, not necessarily from the Insurance or Financial Services industry, although that would be highly beneficial. You’ll also need:
In addition to your business leadership skills, a personal interest in rural affairs or the local farming community will help your credibility further, given the core nature of the agency’s business. It will also help with your additional role as Group Secretary for the National Farming Union, Scotland.
Group Secretary, NFU Scotland (NFUS)One of the other aspects of this opportunity is being appointed NFUS Group Secretary. With support from the two existing Group Secretary partners in the Inverness and Elgin agency, you’ll be the collective voice of the Union, bringing the agriculture community together and sharing best-practice and policy updates. With full backing from the NFUS, you’ll have access to expert advice and specialist support on everything from policy and increasing membership numbers to marketing and media. In this role you’re supporting the needs of the farming community and opening doors to future business opportunities for your agency.
Rewards and supportAs a self-employed Senior 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 Senior Partner of the Inverness and Elgin NFU Mutual agency you’ll benefit from:
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.
