NFU Mutual Careers - Our People - Profile Blank Image.jpg

Sue Perry, Brand and Shows Manager

The NFU Mutual brand has been well known to me for many years, having grown up in a rural community, many family and friends have relied upon our services to insure their cars, homes and agricultural businesses. Now, as Brand and Shows Manager, I'm influencing how that brand looks, speaks and communicates with our prospects and customers.

As well as working with key creative and media agencies to drive acquisition and support new business targets, I also get to meet our biggest advocates - our customers - at agricultural shows. The company’s supported me in many ways over the past four years - I’ve taken on new challenges and increased responsibility, working on different projects across the business, developing my skill set and meeting lots of interesting people along the way.

Marianne Kelly, Digital Marketing Manager

I’d heard that NFU Mutual was a great place to work and a company that truly looks after its customers. So, when I had the opportunity to apply to join them in 2017, I jumped at the chance. Since I joined, I’ve had the chance to take on more responsibility.

The business takes development very seriously and I’m encouraged to focus on developing both my team and myself. I’ve been on some great courses and I’ve also had plenty of support from my line manager to take the next step in my career. That’s what really impresses me - people here look to make decisions for the right reasons.

Jo Mepham, Marketing Campaigns Consultant

I applied to NFU Mutual because I really liked their passion for putting customers and employees at the heart of everything they do. I was also encouraged by the Gallup ‘Great place to Work’ award, which reinforced all the good things I’d heard. There’s a real sense of community in the department.

My confidence has grown greatly since I joined, and this is down to the incredible support and encouragement provided by the managers. The culture, enthusiasm, positive energy and willingness to progress employees is great. I’ve been given so many opportunities to develop in my career – I feel like the company wants and is willing to help me succeed.

Juliet Green, Head of Internal Communications

Since I joined NFU Mutual in 2003, I’ve never been bored. I’ve worked in HR, Internal Comms, PR and Corporate Comms and now I lead the Internal Comms team. So I’m always learning and growing, and the business supports you in developing and driving your own career.

I’ve been involved in loads of interesting projects, from launching the first employee forum to introducing social media and upgrading our intranet platform. It’s great that I’ve been able to stay and do it all here.
