The Thurso & Dingwall NFU Mutual offices are delighted to once again sponsor the Christmas Show & Sale at the Caithness Livestock Centre, a key event in the agricultural calendar that does so much to showcase the outstanding quality of livestock the North of Scotland has to offer. It doesn t seem that long ago since last years event when all of a sudden here it is come round again. Whilst this year s good weather has no doubt brought benefits to some, 2018 has had its own trials for our farmers here in the Far north. Livestock prices, Straw Shortages and price hikes, and new worries regarding recycling, not to mention the ongoing uncertainty about Brexit and what that means for farmers, crofters and our rural economy. We, at your local offices in Thurso and Dingwall strive to bring you the best possible service with knowledge that allows us to understand your business and personal needs. Through a range of policies and services we are able to create an insurance package that is tailored to you. Our teams in both Thurso & Dingwall continue to grow and we are delighted to welcome back Jemma from maternity leave and Briony who will be re-joining us in January and congratulate them both on their new arrivals. A new office is still in the pipeline for the Thurso team, we are just hoping the right location appears. Through the Agency s work with NFU Scotland we aim to support and advise our Farming and Crofting members and provide them with an exclusive range of discounts that are not available to non-members. Our experienced Insurance team would be delighted to assist you in any way they can through Farm & Commercial Insurance, Vehicle, Home, Travel, Pet & Equine insurances. Our financial advisor Allan can advise on a wide variety of financial services products including pensions & investments, succession planning & life cover. We would like to take this opportunity to thank our customers for their continued loyalty and support and we look forward to working with you in the years to come. We wish you all the best for a happy, healthy & prosperous 2019! Graham, Alix & Johnny 4
