Partner - Farming and Commercial Insurance Business

About the Opportunity

A growth opportunity for commercial minds. An opportunity for ambitious minds. Shape the future of a thriving rural and commercial insurance business. Engage with local farming and business communities. Craft bespoke insurance solutions for a loyal customer base. Self‑employed opportunity backed by a top 10 UK financial services provider.

NFU Mutual’s agency network continues to expand, and the South East region is leading the charge. Our success is built on exceptional customer service, reflected in our 95%+ customer retention rate, and recognised by our three‑time win as Which? Insurance Brand of the Year.

As a Partner in the Hertford & Royston Agency, you’ll be at the heart of a highly respected insurance business with deep roots in the community. You’ll support a diverse client base across farming, commercial, high net worth and rural sectors, delivering the high standards of service that define NFU Mutual. You’ll bring a strong understanding of the rural economy and use it to build meaningful commercial relationships across our specialist sectors.

Your leadership and strategic thinking will help shape the agency’s direction, drive growth, and unlock its full potential.

This is a self‑employed role with the full backing of one of the UK’s most trusted insurers. You’ll benefit from professional development opportunities, access to expert support, and the chance to work alongside a high‑performing team.

As a self‑employed Partner and Agent of NFU Mutual, your earnings depend on the agency performance. Building on a strong core farming market, we’re now ready to develop further opportunities and future growth potential across the area. Your energy, drive, vision and personal ambition are the only limit to your future earning potential. There’s no capital investment required, just your passion and drive for growth and sales.

Your reward will be earnings based on a share of the agency profits with a first year OTE of £80,000 to £90,000. We’ll set you up for success. You’ll have access to the NFU Mutual support services you need to continue to build a sustainable, profitable insurance business. And you’ll learn from the Senior Partners who will share their career experience and skills.

Further support includes sales, marketing, business insurance, financial planning, and risk management services.

One of the other aspects of this opportunity is being appointed an NFU Group Secretary. You’ll be the voice of the Union, bringing the agricultural community together and sharing best‑practice and policy updates. With full backing from the NFU, 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 this active farming community and opening doors to future business opportunities for your agency.

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. If you're interested in this opportunity, please submit your application as early as possible as we may close this vacancy early if we receive sufficient applications.
