NFU Mutual was selected from a shortlist of five life insurance providers by a judging panel consisting of personal finance journalists and independent financial advisers.

When commenting on NFU Mutual, one member of the panel, said: "I have never heard a word of criticism about NFU Mutual - it just seems to get on with its business, treating every customer with care and respect."

On collecting the Award, Simon Painter, National Sales Manager at NFU Mutual, said: "This award is particularly pleasing because our customers have voted for us in force.
