About Ashford

We’ve really got to know our designated account handler over the years, and value their support, confident that they always have our best interests at heart. They understand our business and can deal with our enquiries quickly and efficiently. We’re located near the Tenterden office, so we’re just a short drive away from the team should we require a face-to-face meeting. Our business has multiple risks, so we want to make sure that the cover is appropriate to support every eventuality and NFU Mutual help us to do so.
