Whitfield

I had over 15 years of experience in business consultancy prior to moving into insurance. I worked most recently for a multinational consultancy and prior to that I ran my own specialist consultancy practice. Having experienced life in a corporate business and a small partnership means I understand the challenges you face regardless of your size of business. This is all part of our personal approach to insurance and financial services. As you will see we have an extensive and experienced team to assist you but you can also contact me directly.

I have worked for the business for over 16 years across all areas of the agency before being appointed Partner in September 2017. My main role now is to assist our corporate clients with their complex insurance requirements. I really enjoy going into a business and within a short period of time understanding how the business operates, from board level down to the operational side of the business. This understanding allows me to ensure your insurances are correct from the outset and gives you the peace of mind you are looking for in your insurance provider.

I joined the business in Spring 2017, based mainly in the Whitfield office. I look forward to converting my past experience in the British Army into providing the very best service and advice for all of our clients and members. My agricultural beginnings and experience give me a good understanding of farming and the challenges facing the industry today. I will be working alongside the team to continue to provide the sound advice and service that sets us apart from the competition.

I have over 25 years of business and insurance experience which enables me to help our clients to ensure their needs are met. I am able to offer advice from a straightforward enquiry to complicated liability issues. My determined approach for our business is to ensure that all our clients’ claims are dealt with fairly and quickly. This often results in better outcomes, where many other companies may have thrown in the towel. An excellent personal customer service with sound advice is at the heart of our business strategy.

I have worked for various departments within NFU Mutual since 1977. I now specialise in reviewing our farming and commercial clients' insurance cover. The benefit of regular insurance reviews is that we can ensure your cover remains relevant to you as your business evolves. A big part of our business is not only providing insurance but working with you to reduce your likelihood of needing to make a claim. We deliver this through our Risk Management Adviser.
