General Insurance Article - Local insurer relocates to bigger premises


 ♦ NFU Mutual Saffron Walden office is relocating to Gold Street

 ♦ Business success has seen staff numbers increase significantly

 ♦ Branch offers the use of premise facilities to local agricultural groups

 NFU Mutual, the UK's leading rural insurer, is due to relocate its Saffron Walden office in Essex on Wednesday 27th February from Fairycroft Road to Gold Street.

 The move has been prompted by continued business success and significant team expansion, which has seen the office team grow from 4 to 9 in order to accommodate customer requirements in the market town and surrounding countryside.

 Roger Willmott, Senior Agent, said: "We are excited about our new central location which will help us to provide an even better service and facilities for our members, potential customers, and our growing team.

 "Just like NFU Mutual, the building we are moving to is also rich in agricultural history. The Saffron Walden office was a former corn and grain store. We will proudly be offering the use of our meeting room to the Agricultural Training Group and the NFU for meetings, helping to support our rural community."

 Having worked with NFU Mutual for 12 years, Roger took up his post as Senior Agent 5 years ago, also fulfilling the role of NFU Group Secretary. With strong agricultural roots, Roger has a good understanding of the rural community and the importance of local businesses.

 Roger is joined by fellow Agent Alex Forbes who has over 12 years of experience in the insurance industry. Alex has expertise in all areas of commercial and farming insurance that NFU Mutual provides.

 The Saffron Walden team attributes the success of the business to their long standing links to the surrounding countryside and its people.

 Roger continued: "All of our staff are based in and around Saffron Walden and have a very good understanding of the needs and issues that affect those who live and work in the countryside.

 "We feel that supporting the rural community is a very important role for our business. Being able to talk to our members face-to-face about their insurance or financial needs is very reassuring and is the reason why many people renew and trust us."
