Highlands or North East Scotland

Growth opportunities for commercial leaders (Director Level)

• A unique self-employed proposition with no capital investment required
• Join a successful and fully operational business in a partnership capacity
• A key commercial role with a focus on the agricultural sector and beyond
• Create bespoke insurance solutions with the support of NFU Mutual

At NFU Mutual, we’ve built our reputation on, and succeeded in, the agricultural sector; a marketplace with a value of £15billion to the UK economy. Benefiting from an established network of tied agency businesses, stretching the length and breadth of the UK, we’re focused on developing our place and status in this key market, whilst also leveraging our knowledge and expertise to drive real growth across new business sectors beyond our core base of agriculture and farming.

As a Senior Partner or Partner in one of our insurance agencies in the Highlands or North East Scotland, you’ll quickly become a principal figure in an established team, using your strong people and client facing skills to forge new commercial alliances and build long lasting relationships to help grow an already successful business in this ever-evolving sector.

This is also a genuine personal growth opportunity, with an absolute commercial focus, underpinned by the support of one of the UK’s largest insurers.

Your experience and commercial flair

Working alongside existing partners, you’ll be part of your agency’s leadership team and a catalyst to growing the business at pace. Focusing on which markets to target and putting plans in place, your strong work ethic and innovative mindset will inspire the team to drive performance and deliver visible results. Able to combine an agricultural background or relevant commercial experience in managing large accounts, with proven leadership skills, you’ll create bespoke insurance solutions that meet the needs of a fast-changing marketplace.

The continuing diversification and modernisation of agriculture across Scotland provides you with a great opportunity to thrive in this incredible sector; wherever possible driving business growth beyond farming, tapping into local hotspots of High Net Worth clients and SMEs across a range of sectors. With the support of NFU Mutual and a strong and loyal customer base, this role gives you the independence to put big expansion plans in place, whilst ensuring sustainable growth.

Building business partnerships

NFU Mutual is a top 10 UK insurance provider with a focus on building business relationships and putting our customers at the heart of what we do. Our mutuality is our difference. And it works. With a 95% renewal rate, our status and respect in the agricultural world and beyond provides the foundations on which to grow your business.

Whichever agency you join, you can rest assured that you’ll be joining a business that invests in its employees. You’ll be part of a senior team that provides clear career pathways for employees that thrive in a culture where working towards the same goals and supporting growth is a given.

Rewards and support

As a self-employed Senior Partner/Partner and Agent of NFU Mutual, your earnings are based on the performance of the agency and a share of the profits. 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 capital investment.

With further opportunities and growth expected in both agricultural and commercial sectors across the Highlands and North East Scotland, your energy, drive, vision and personal ambition are the only limit to your future earning potential.

We’ll set you up for success. You’ll benefit from the NFU Mutual support services you need to build a sustainable, profitable insurance business. This support includes sales, marketing, business insurance, financial planning, team recruitment and risk management services.

NFU Group Secretary

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 agriculture 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.
