Simon started his career with NFU Mutual at the Dorchester branch in 2001 and progressed to Senior Agent in Wareham in 2006 giving him a wealth of experience in rural, farming, estates and commercial insurances. He has seen the office grow in terms of both staff and customers since 2006 and is pleased that the branch is now in a position where they can offer each and every customer a personal service to find cover tailored to their needs. Simon is also the Senior Group Secretary for Purbeck & Wareham and Blandford branches and can provide assistance with regard to most farming matters.

Mary joined the Wareham branch in 2008 as Assistant Agent and Group Secretary to the Purbeck & Wareham and Blandford NFU branches. Brought up in nearby Dorchester and having spent her whole career working in the area she is able to deal with all insurance products from homes to horses, cars to caravans, property owners to plasterers, factories to farms. Mary looks after all existing customers especially Commerical Business accounts.
