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 using our knowledge to not only support the ever-evolving agriculture sector but to 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 5 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 tap into an abundance of 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 ready for

Based in the historic town of Hungerford, this agency is home to a 20-strong team of dedicated people who thrive in a culture, where working towards the same goals and supporting growth through great customer care is a given.

With the support of the two existing partners, you’ll inspire a small sales team, where your strong leadership and coaching skills will be crucial in achieving ambitious sales targets. While experience in farming is not essential, a genuine interest and appreciation for agriculture is crucial. You'll be immersed in a world where you can develop a deep care for the industry.

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 provide the foundations on which to grow the business.

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

The National Farmers Union (NFU) represents the voice of agriculture up to the highest levels, on both national and international platforms. For more than 110 years, the NFU and NFU Mutual have enjoyed a close relationship, working together to provide a first-class service to the farming and wider rural community.

As an NFU Group Secretary you’ll play a major role at the heart of your local farming community. You'll champion the interests of local farmers, arrange local meetings and events, recruit and retain members and keep them up-to-date on agricultural policy. With full backing from the NFU, you’ll have access to expert advice and specialist support on everything from policy and increasing membership to marketing and media.

Combining your duties as an NFU Group Secretary with your work as an Agent of NFU Mutual gives you the chance to make the most of new opportunities for your agency, as well as introducing what the NFU and NFU Mutual have to offer to a wider audience. The roles are intrinsically linked.

As a self-employed Assistant 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, you’ll benefit from: 

• Uncapped earnings growth built into the agency financial structure. Your drive, vision and personal ambition are the only limit to future earning potential.


• A ready-made and loyal customer base with a renewal rate of 95%. 


• Comprehensive training and support to help you develop your skills and knowledge. You’ll also benefit from the strength of the NFU Mutual brand and our extensive range of products and services.


• Our commitment is to set you up for success and help you along the way too. Whilst it’s your business to run, you’ll also have access to a host of NFU Mutual support services to help you build a sustainable, profitable insurance business. This support includes sales, marketing, business insurance, financial planning, risk management services and so much more.
