* Engage with local farming and business communities across the Scottish Highlands
* Create bespoke insurance solutions with the support of NFU Mutual.
Joining the leadership team of NFU Mutual Thurso & Dingwall, you’ll be at the heart of a thriving business rooted in the local rural economy. A business that’s built its reputation on providing first-class insurance solutions to a range of customers and businesses across the northern most parts of the stunning Scottish Highlands.
Based in either the Thurso or Dingwall office, you’ll play a key role in nurturing existing customer relationships as well as prospecting and developing new ones. This is a self-employed business opportunity with absolute customer focus and the support of one of the UK’s largest insurers.
Your experience as an aspiring business leader
This is a unique opportunity suited to those in a customer-facing role who thrive on developing long-standing, trusted relationships with a range of contacts, from farmers to company directors. Core skills include:
o Sales management / new business development
o Account management / client relationship management
o People management
o Strong customer ethos with a dedication to customer care
Insurance experience isn’t necessary. More important for success is your connection to the Farming & Agri economy. We want to see a passion for the Caithness community and all things rural.
Group Secretary, NFU Scotland (NFUS)
With support from the two existing Group Secretary partners in the Thurso and Dingwall agency, you’ll be the collective voice of the Union, bringing the agriculture community together and sharing best-practice and policy updates. With full backing from the NFUS, you’ll have access to expert advice and specialist support on everything from policy and increasing membership numbers to marketing and media.
Rewards and support
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 from you.
As a Partner of the Thurso and Dingwall agency you’ll benefit from:
o A ready-made and loyal customer base with a renewal rate of 95%
o Uncapped earnings with projected income to £80k in year one alone. Your drive, vision and personal ambition are the only limit to future earnings potential
o Our commitment to set you up for success and help you along the way too. Whilst it’s your business to run, you’ll have access to a host of NFU Mutual support services including sales, marketing, financial planning and so much more.
