We are a leading provider of General Insurance and Financial Services. From our strong farming roots we’ve grown to become a UK-wide organisation, turning over £1billion annually. Yet success hasn’t gone to our heads. We’re proud to remain completely customer focused, down-to-earth and committed to the rural communities we’ve grown from.
Our ethos - of trust, respect and personal service - lies at the heart of all we do and has seen us build an enviable reputation for exceptional member loyalty.

NFU Mutual has again been named as a Gallup Exceptional Workplace Award winner in 2022.
We are one of only 39 companies across the globe and the only UK headquartered organisation to win this award.
The Gallup Exceptional Workplace award
The international Gallup Exceptional Workplace award is evaluated carefully by a panel of judges and given only to organisations that meet rigorous standards of employee engagement. The award requires entrants to clearly evidence how they fuel business performance through an engaged workforce.
NFU Mutual builds on an existing reputation as an exceptionally engaged workforce, having achieved frequent award recognition from Gallup in previous years.
Trisha Jones, HR Director at NFU Mutual, said: “NFU Mutual is committed to being a great place to work. We work hard to maintain the exceptional engagement standards we have built with our people and are delighted to have received this recognition once again.
“The commitment and engagement of NFU Mutual employees is fundamental to the ongoing success of our business and we’ll never take it for granted. From supporting health and wellbeing to encouraging career development, we’re passionate about creating an environment where employees can thrive and achieve their full potential.”
Jim Harter, Gallup’s chief scientist of workplace management and wellbeing, said: “This award recognises the most engaged workplace cultures in the world. Gallup’s 2022 GEWA winners have steered their organisations through another unprecedented and challenging year. They didn’t slow down or hit ‘pause’ during times of uncertainty. They stayed true to their organisational values. Gallup commends all of the 2022 GEWA winners for their resiliency, determination and commitment to making their people a priority.”
