NFU Mutual’s
Aberdeen City and Shire office has announced the expansion of its commercial
services and the appointment of a new partner.
In the last year, the agency has doubled
its staff to 17 and in January Sarah Law joined as partner with a lead
responsibility in the farming sector.
Sarah previously worked as a business
development manager in the oil and gas industry.
She brings a wealth of experience in
commerce and as a farm owner, understands the needs and challenges faced by
rural customers too.
Other appointments at the agency include
new business development manager Warren Vale, who will focus on the successful
growth of the business by increasing the number of new commercial customers
joining the agency.
He is joined by commercial account
executives Emma Ross and Lynn Batham, also appointed in the last year to
complement the existing team of commercial account handlers.
The Aberdeen City and Shire agency was
formed in 2022 following a merger to create a brand new combined office based
in the Thainstone Centre near Inverurie, allowing it to better serve its NFU
Mutual & NFU Scotland members across a wider geographical region.
Stephen Hepburn, Lead Partner at NFU
Mutual Aberdeen City and Shire, said: “This is a very
exciting time for us as we see the merged office go from strength to strength,
with not only the appointment of Sarah Law as partner but the doubling of staff
in less a year and an ever-growing commercial team.
“There is a demand for sound business
advice when it comes to insurance, especially post-Covid and as we face the
ever-growing risks around cyber security. Customers are facing so many
challenges so sitting down with an agent and discussing the risks to your
business is crucial - now more than ever.”
New Partner Sarah Law added: “I am thrilled
to be joining the NFU Mutual Aberdeen City & Shire agency as a partner. The
business has a rapidly expanding portfolio, including commercial channels. It
is such an important time for businesses of all sizes to have the best quality
insurance in place. Along with the rest of the team we look forward to building
on this great start to 2023.”
