Best farm policy insurance company ?

[Nigel Wellings]

It is always a touch disconcerting when you get one ringing endorsement for a firm, and then posts from a couple of contributors not noted for being idiots, saying "Didn't respond/couldn't be bothered", etc.

All I can say is that we have been somewhat inundated over last 12-18 mths, over the same period Insurer response times and what they will and wont quote on has got worse, so at certain times have had to make choices on what we are able to quote on,in that situation we will tend to have to favour doing quotes on business within a 75 mile radius of our offices. We are doing a lot of work to try and improve this but suffice to say Insurer service is not currently improving.

You are quite right, I set up Acres in 96, sold it 2011-2014, corporate ownership didnt work for me, and set up Acres 2018.

Thanks Nigel i seen your post after i asked this ooopppss. i might give you a call one of these days.

have had numerous conversations and sent them all nfu renewals so they can quote like for like and they have never bothered to get back to me- complete waste of time in my opinion

In the nicest possible way, the posters saying they got no response, etc, would probably have respected that, had they been told?

My suspicion is that they were not told- for which I can only apologise. Lesson for future which will be communicated to all at Acres.

Acres in my experience so far - can’t recommend @Nigel Wellings and his team highly enough

+1 we have always found our local team great to deal with both with their advise and help when we have had to make a claim.

I have used F&G this time as Caleb Roberts were not able to quote in the window... www.farmcover.co.uk

Rep was pleasant and helpful and backroom team seem good.

Price was excellent compared to NFUM, for what appears to be a better series of policies.

Been F&G for 7/8 years and are very happy,left Nfu 25 years ago.They asked to quote five years ago and we're much more competitive than previous years but it was obviously a spratt to catch a mackerel.
