About us

Employing great people for over 100 years

Welcome to NFU Mutual

We are a leading provider of General Insurance, as well as offering a variety of Financial Planning Services. From our strong farming roots we’ve grown to become a UK-wide organisation, turning over £1billion annually. Yet success hasn’t gone to our heads. We’re proud to remain completely customer focused, down-to-earth and committed to the rural communities we’ve grown from.

Our ethos - of trust, respect and personal service - lies at the heart of all we do and has seen us build an enviable reputation for exceptional member loyalty. Though we’ve been in business for over 110 years, we have big ambitions for the future. And that’s why we’re looking for talented people to join our growing organisation. Talented people like you.

What we do

We’ve been supporting our customers, their families and the communities they live in for more than 100 years. But when seven farmers from the Midlands set out to attract new union members back in 1910, few of them would have predicted how successful they’d be.

Today, more than a century later, we continue to offer expert insurance advice to the farming community and remain an integral part of the British countryside. We’re now a leading name outside farming too. We offer an extensive range of personal and commercial covers with expertise to both our farming and non-farming customers.

Our mutuality

What sets us apart? What’s been the to key to our success for all this time - and continues to guide everything we do? Our mutuality. We’re owned and run for our 900,000 customers, and we work hard to protect their interests. From our 295 local offices offering personal service, to the tailored quotes that customers can’t get from price comparison sites, our customers’ needs are at the heart of everything we do. Always have been, always will be.

We believe in taking the time to find products which meet a customer’s individual needs, inspiring trust and building relations by exceeding expectations. It's a successful, time-tested formula which puts quality customer service over a quick sale every time.

Our Responsible Business Strategy

At NFU Mutual, we’ve always taken our responsibilities seriously and we are passionate about making meaningful differences across our business and the communities we serve.

To underline our commitment to doing business the right way, 2022 saw us evolve our Responsible Business Strategy to consider factors across an Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) framework. Moving forwards, we’ll be looking even more closely at how we impact the world, contribute to society and conduct ourselves as a business. That means, now more than ever, we can hold ourselves to account on our progress as a responsible business.

Caring for the environment

We fully understand that there is an urgent need for action on climate change. It is a shared global responsibility, and we all have a part to play. We have considered our own role in reducing emissions as well as identifying the potential impacts of climate change on our business. As a result, we are actively taking steps to drive improvements where we need to.

Our Net Zero Roadmap sets out our aims to become Net Zero by 2050 and our plans to contribute to reducing climate change and its impacts. We are undertaking a series of initiatives across the business that will help reduce our carbon emissions, including energy efficiency projects, improvements to the sustainability of the motor claims experience and support for customers’ renewable energy ventures.

Farm Safety Foundation

As a mutual insurer that has cared about the countryside, farmers and their families for over a century, NFU Mutual took the decision in 2014 to establish the Farm Safety Foundation. An independent charity to raise awareness of farm safety among the next generation of farmers. The Foundation or Yellow Wellies as many know them, work closely with partners in the industry to engage, educate and communicate strong and relatable farm safety messages.

Through award-winning national campaigns such as Farm Safety Week and Mind Your Head, the Farm Safety Foundation is preserving and protecting the physical and mental wellbeing of the next generation of farmers, ensuring that those making their journey into agriculture are resilient and equipped with smart strategies and specific skills to live well and farm well.
