- Join an established insurance business with ambitious growth plans

At NFU Mutual, our reputation is built on deep roots in the farming and agricultural sector. From this 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 grow our reach and impact across diverse sectors.
Commercial insurance is a key area of growth, offering you the chance to develop tailored solutions for a wide range of business clients.
As an Agent in the Hungerford and Marlborough agency, you’ll join a successful business that has doubled in size over the past five years. With a strong focus on new business, you’ll play a key role in driving growth across Berkshire and Wiltshire, working with farmers, rural enterprises, and commercial clients alike. Your ability to combine client management with commercial insight will be central to unlocking new opportunities.
Working alongside two experienced Agents, this is your chance to demonstrate your ability to understand unique customer needs, deliver tailored insurance solutions, and lead the next phase of growth.
Your experience and commercial flair
Based in the historic town of Hungerford, this agency is home to a 20-strong team who thrive in a culture of collaboration, customer care, and shared ambition. With the support of two existing partners, you’ll lead and inspire a sales team, using your leadership and coaching skills to achieve ambitious targets.
While farming experience isn’t essential, a genuine interest in agriculture is important. You’ll be immersed in a sector where relationships matter and where your understanding of both rural and commercial needs will set you apart.
Building business partnerships
NFU Mutual is a top 10 UK insurance provider, known for putting customers first. Our mutuality is our difference—and it works. With a 95% customer renewal rate, our reputation in agriculture and beyond provides a strong platform for growth.
As an Agent, you’ll benefit from:
- A respected brand with deep roots in farming and growing influence in commercial markets
- Comprehensive support across marketing, compliance, training, technology, and product development
- A proven business model with no capital investment required
- Opportunities to build lasting relationships with farmers, rural businesses, and commercial enterprises
NFU Group Secretary
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.
Rewards and support
As a self-employed 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.
