Company history:
The NFU Mutual's roots lie in the first decade of the century when seven Warwickshire farmers founded a mutual insurance company as an incentive for fellow farmers to join the newly formed Framers' Union.
The concept proved so successful over the years that the NFU has grown to become the UK's leading rural insurer, providing cover for the majority of the UK's farmers and growers together with an increasing number of country people and businesses.
NFU Mutual provides a range of business, motor and personal insurance.
