Testimonials

"We were impressed by the level of farming insurance knowledge shown by our broker from the local F&M office. In the first instance our cover was improved, and subsequently we have always found Linda to be available at any time to discuss any changes in our dairy business and the implications this may have on the insurance cover. We have found their claims service to be fast and efficient, and we feel at ease knowing we have experts on hand to give us the best advice possible on all our insurance matters."

“I have been insuring with Farmers and Mercantile since its inception and let me tell you, I have been impressed by the sound advice and help I have received, particularly with regard to buildings and property Insurances for our farming business and property lettings, and every time that we have made a claim, we have found that they have been dealt with promptly and met in full”.

“We moved our insurances from the NFU to Farmers and Mercantile over a decade ago and have been impressed with the professional service we have received; it has been particularly proactive with regard to our diversification ventures.”
Roger Ashby – Farmer and Corporate Entertainment Provider, Northamptonshire

“Initially we moved to Farmers and Mercantile due to a premium saving close to 30%. The service we have received since has been much more efficient than the previous farming specialist insurer and the understanding of our business has been much better. I have been particularly pleased with the claims service.”
Michael Goulding – Farmer and Straw Merchant, Hampshire

“The advice and service I have received over the last 5 years has been excellent. Farmers and Mercantile were especially good at sorting out a major claim in August 2002 when our grain drier caught fire, the loss of the drier and subsequent loss of income claim were dealt with very promptly and efficiently. F & M come highly recommended from me.”
Ivor Chambers – Farms in Leicestershire

"Having been a client of Farmers & Mercantile for over 8 years, initially due to a savings in premium, I can confirm the service has been excellent, courteous, polite and efficient with all claims dealt with to my satisfaction. Farmers and Mercantile are highly recommended by me."
Robert Dale – Arable Farmer, Much Dewchurch, Herefordshire

"Farmers and Mercantile have made an outstanding difference to running the insurance side of our Farm Business for the last 10 years, the advice has been very pro-active and I feel much more comfortable than I did with my previous insurers."

"I have been very impressed with the fast & efficient claims service at Farmers and Mercantile – considering I had only recently joined them when my claim occurred there was no problem in dealing with it."
Chris Patmore – Poultry Farmer Thaxted, Essex

"I have been insured with Farmers & Mercantile for a number of years; initially due to a saving in price. I can also testify that Farmers and Mercantile have settled all my claims in an efficient way and I would be happy to recommend them to other Farmers."
J R Beattie and Son – Dairy Farmers. Stourbridge.

"6 years ago we moved to Farmers and Mercantile. In harvest 2006 one of our tractors and trailers was involved in a major collision with a car. This was not our fault but the car driver is trying to claim 7 figure damages. I have been very impressed with the amount of work Farmers and Mercantile have put in to ensure this claim is not paid. Moving to F&M has been a good decision for us"
John Pick – Leicestershire - Arable and Contract Farming - 4000 Acres

"Farmers and Mercantile saved me 30% on my annual insurance bill. Their personal service could not have been more helpful and they have kept the renewal premiums sharp. Like many farmers I was concerned that any claim submitted would be paid efficiently and without unnecessary quibbling; I can now say that this has indeed been the case – on more than one occasion."
Stephen Leeder Arable farmer Lindsell Essex

"On becoming a client of Farmers & Mercantile I have benefited from a significant improvement in insurance cover, substantial saving in premium and enjoy a bespoke claims and administration service."
J Miles & Son, Suffolk

"Whilst I initially contacted F & M on a purely speculative basis to check that our current insurers (with whom we had had a long and satisfactory relationship) were still competitive, it soon became clear from the trouble you took to tailor the quote to provide the desired level of cover at a more than competitive price, that the decision to switch our business to you was in effect a no-brainer. I would not hesitate to recommend you to anyone seeking to renew their insurances and trying to find flexibility, good service and attention to detail."
J.O. - North Lincolnshire

"Of course the main reason we changed our insurance to Farmers and Mercantile 2 years ago was price driven at almost half the cost of our old insurers, but we also found they know and understand what we were talking about and our needs (unlike our last insurers call centre in Delhi).They handled and ensured the gradual transition from old to new went smoothly, and the itinerary is now much simpler to understand and more comprehensive than before, so we now know exactly what we are paying for. Their personal service gives me confidence to allow them to handle all our insurance needs with no hassle, allowing me more time to get on and farm (weather permitting . . . !)."
William Nichols - Northamptonshire

"We moved our insurance to Farmers & Mercantile from the NFU a few years ago. We are impressed with the professional service we have received. Particularly impressed with the claims service."
R Shennan & Sons, Turnberry, Scotland

"At the end of September I was contacted by... (F&M broker) to ask if he could quote for my farm insurance. He came to see me as soon as we could arrange a date to discuss my farming business, he was thorough and explained each aspect of my policy, pointing out where I was under-insured and where I was paying too much. He was able to provide a quote which was very competitive, I had some queries on the policy which he said he would clarify, which he did promptly upon returning to his office. Despite the short time scale for changing over the policy it went very smoothly."
C Heath, Redditch, Worcester

"We moved from our previous insurers several years ago as a result of a considerable saving in premium for the same/better cover. At F & M I know that my custom is valued and it is good to deal with a business who knows who I am and can provide a personal service."
Mr L McFadzean, Merkland Farm, Maybole
