• Thriving insurance business seeks an ambitious sales professional to join the partnership


• Lead sales teams to tap into a wealth of new business opportunities 


• Create bespoke insurance solutions with the full backing of NFU Mutual


• Uncapped income with on-target earnings to £50k in your first year.

At NFU Mutual, our reputation is built on deep roots in the agricultural sector. From this respected foundation, we continue to support the evolving needs of farming communities while expanding into the commercial and high net worth markets. Our approach is relationship-led, and our ambition is clear: to expand our reach and impact across diverse sectors.

Here in the NFU Mutual Mourneview agency, based in Downpatrick, we’re looking for an experienced sales professional to continue to drive new business growth across a wider cross-section of business and commerce, adding to the already diverse client portfolio of farming, agricultural and rural enterprises.

This is your chance to work with unique client needs, deliver tailored insurance solutions, and help drive the next phase of growth for your agency.

It’s the perfect leadership opportunity, with full support from the current Agents and a dedicated team of staff.

This is a self-employed business opportunity for those with true leadership ambitions. We’re looking for:

• Relationship-based B2B sales / business development and client management skills


• Leadership qualities blending commercial acumen with a customer-first approach; it takes ambition, drive, and a strategic mindset to develop into a high-performing business leader


• A passion or connection with agriculture or rural life, given the agency’s farming heritage.   


• Strong inter-personal skills with people management experience is preferred.

Alongside your main focus as an Insurance Agent of NFU Mutual you’ll be employed by the Ulster Farmers’ Union as an Assistant Group Manager. This places you at the heart of your local farming community—supporting with arranging meetings and events, recruiting and retaining members, and keeping them up to date on agricultural policy. You’ll have full backing from the UFU, with access to expert advice and specialist support.

You’ll inherit an established and fully operational business with no up-front capital investment required. From day one, you’ll benefit from:

• Uncapped income with on-target earnings to £50k in your first year alone. Your drive and ambition are the only limits to your future earning potential


• A ready-made, loyal client base with an average of 9 in 10 customers choosing to renew with NFU Mutual


• Our commitment to set you up for success and help you along the way. Whilst it’s your business to run, you’ll have access to a host of NFU Mutual training and support services including sales, marketing, financial planning, and more.
