Jo Oliver

Senior Agent

As Senior Partner in the Preston agency, I work with a variety of successful commercial and agricultural/horticultural businesses in the area offering advice on their insurance and wider protection needs. Our clients trust us to provide a service they can rely on for their personal and business insurance, as well as finding solutions to help manage their Health & Safety and wider risks within their businesses.

I'm an experienced insurance and financial services professional, having spent over 14 years helping NFU Mutual provide the personal, dependable, specialist service loved by our customers both in Lancashire and prior to that in Bath in the South West.

Along with my business partners, Gary and Adam, as well as our wonderful team, we also help our customers manage their future by providing them with pensions, investments and life assurance support. I firmly believe that we are able to provide a transparent, no-pressure service that sets us apart and can give the security that you, your family and business deserve.

I’m passionate about looking after our customers and getting out to meet as many as I can. If you’d like to discuss the challenges faced by your family, firm or farm, I’d love to hear from you.
Call me on 01772 735798 or email me at Preston@nfumutual.co.uk
