For many Scottish Farmer readers NFU Mutual will be a name that’s synonymous and affiliated with NFU Scotland…and why not? But as with most things in life, there’s more to the story. As a top ten UK insurer, we’ve supported people, families and businesses for over 110 years, as well as represented the interests of NFUS Members across Scotland and the rest of the UK.

Owned by and run for our 900,000 customers, we work hard to protect their interests and it’s our mutuality that sets us apart. Unlike many other UK insurers, our success is built predominantly on a UK wide network of tied agents who are Appointed Representatives of NFU Mutual, whom we often refer to as Senior Partners or Partners.

Our roots are in farming communities, where we’ve built an unrivalled reputation far and wide, taking time to have real conversations with customers to ensure they have the right insurance for their needs. And it works. With a 95% renewal rate amongst our client base, our status and respect in the agricultural world and beyond provides the foundations on which Senior Partners/Partners continue to grow their business.

Working on a self-employed basis, Senior Partners and Partners run their own businesses independently, with the support of the strong and well-established NFU Mutual brand. The number of partners in each business depends on its size, focus and ambitions, ranging from single entities to multiple partnerships of two, three and even four.

Here in Scotland, particularly in the Highlands and North East of the country, we have a number of agencies looking to recruit additional Senior Partners/Partners able to develop key agricultural markets; and wherever possible drive business growth beyond farming, tapping into local hotspots of High Net Worth clients and SMEs across a range of sectors.

It’s a unique proposition, where you get to join an already successful and fully operational business in a partnership capacity, with no capital investment required. This is also a genuine personal growth opportunity, ideally suited to commercial leaders, probably operating at director or senior management level, who crave more from their career and the chance to chart their own destiny.

Existing Senior Partners/Partners come from a variety of backgrounds. However, whether it’s agriculture, farming, financial, retail, hospitality or the insurance industry itself, they all share the same common qualities; based around sound leadership and business development skills, plus a genuine desire to put the customer first.

The earnings of Partners and Agents of NFU Mutual are based on the performance of their agency and a share of the profits. With further growth expected in both agricultural and commercial sectors across the Highlands and North East Scotland there could be no limit to your future earning potential.
