Durham City

Hello. My name is Kate. I originally joined NFU Mutual Wrexham agency in 2008 as an Agent in North Wales, after being with NFU Mutual from 2001. In 2013 I made the move to the North East and have been the Agent and Group Secretary here in Durham ever since. I specialise in farming insurance, investments and risk management along with the important work we do for the NFU. Outside of work I ride my 2 horses (this also helps with the equine insurance - always helps to talk to a fellow horse owner!), row for Durham Amateur Rowing Club in their senior squad, run and love to ride my motorbike. Eventually I would like to ride horses through the tea plantations in India and compete in the World Masters Rowing Championships.

Hello. My name is Richard. I have recently joined the team at Durham as an Agent to support the continued expansion of the business. Previous to joining the agency, I worked for Towergate for nearly 15 years and during that time built up a sizable book of commercial insurance business which included customers of various different trade sectors including farming, printing, leisure, food and motor trade. In my spare time, I love to spend time with my family and, when I get chance, fit in the odd game of golf.

Hello. My name is Pat and I am the Office Manager here at the Durham City NFU Mutual agency. I have been here over 20 years now and I'm able to deal with all types of NFU Mutual insurance from your house to your business. When I'm not busy at the office I enjoy going to the gym and spend time looking for interesting pieces at antique auctions. It's my ambition to one day travel the world.

Hello I am Cara. I joined the Durham NFU Mutual team in April 2015 as an Insurance Adviser Apprentice. Since then I have been offered the opportunity to become a permanent Insurance Adviser - specialising in motor and personal insurances. Before I joined the team I was a student at college studying health and social care. In my spare time I like to always be out finding new places and doing different unusual things, but mostly I like spending time with the people I love. One day, I would like to buy my own land at the bottom of Spain and build my own villa for holidays. I would also love to go travelling for half a year around the Caribbean!

Hello, I am Rob. I joined Durham NFU Mutual in May 2019 as an account handler specialising in commercial accounts. Before joining the team I worked in the motor claims industry for the previous 9 years where in my most recent role I was a team leader. Outside of work I like going to the gym and running to keep fit. I run the Great North Run every year and last year ran my first marathon, although I have no intentions of doing that again any time soon. I enjoy going to new holiday destinations every year, but I do plan to return to Mexico which is without a doubt my favourite so far.
