A growth opportunity for a commercial new business expert

At NFU Mutual, we’ve built our reputation on, and succeeded in, the agricultural sector. From this respected platform, we’re now leveraging our knowledge to support the evolving agriculture industry, develop thriving relationships, and drive growth across commercial and high net worth clients.

As an Agent in the Hungerford and Marlborough agency, you’ll join an existing high-performing business that has doubled in size over the past five years. With a focus on new business, you’ll play a key role in expanding market reach. Using a mix of client management and commercial thinking, you’ll explore numerous new business opportunities across Berkshire and Wiltshire.

Alongside two experienced Agents, this is an opportunity to showcase your ability to understand unique customer needs, provide tailored solutions, and drive the growth this business is poised for.

Your experience and commercial flair

Based in Hungerford, this agency is home to a 20-strong team that thrives in a culture of shared goals and supporting growth through excellent customer care.

With support from the existing partners, you’ll lead and inspire a small sales team, where your leadership and coaching skills will be crucial in achieving ambitious sales targets. While farming experience is not essential, a genuine interest and appreciation for agriculture are vital. You will immerse yourself in this industry, developing a deep understanding and care for it.

Building business partnerships

NFU Mutual is a top 10 UK insurance provider, focused on building strong business relationships and prioritizing our customers. Our mutuality sets us apart, and it’s effective—our renewal rate is 95%. Our reputation and respect in the agricultural sector and beyond provide a solid foundation for growth.

The Hungerford and Marlborough agency has a strong reputation and offers ample opportunities to develop relationships with diverse clients, including farmers, rural businesses, and commercial enterprises.

NFU Group Secretary

This role includes being appointed as an NFU Group Secretary. You will be the voice of the Union, fostering community connections and sharing best practices and policy updates. With full backing from the NFU, you’ll have access to expert advice and support on policy, membership growth, marketing, and media. This role supports community needs and opens doors to future business opportunities for your agency.
