The UK’s rural industries are changing rapidly, many traditional farms and estates are diversifying to generate new and innovative sources of revenue. While newer, smaller businesses that need only a broadband connection are choosing to base themselves in rural locations.
Over the past 40 years, our client base has evolved and combines both traditional and modern businesses that often work hand-in-hand to sustain a family farm or estate. From vineyards to care farms, we don’t just understand the insurance requirements of today’s cutting-edge rural enterprises. Many of our experts have first-hand experience of rural businesses and are passionate about rural affairs.
With access to more markets than most brokers, we are able to offer highly competitive premiums and policy terms. These include a full range of associated products to tailor an insurance package to a clients needs.
As changes and challenges occur in the countryside stirring opportunities and threats in equal measure, we always take an innovative and flexible approach to insurance and risk management. This enables our clients to plan for the unpredictable.

We’ve been working with Lycetts for a number of years now at Jimmy’s Farm & Wildlife Park and have always found their service to be consistently excellent. David and the team have a deep understanding of the unique requirements of our sector and their advice and support have been invaluable as our business has grown and evolved. They are always approachable, professional and quick to respond, whether it’s providing guidance, reviewing cover or handling claims efficiently and with care. We’re very happy to continue working with them and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Lycetts to others in the industry
Stevie Sheppard, Park Director at Jimmy’s Farm & Wildlife Park
We’ve worked with Lycetts for a number of years and they continue to provide an outstanding level of service. Their understanding of rural and diversified businesses like ours sets them apart—they genuinely know the sector and what matters to us. The team are approachable, thorough, and always willing to go the extra mile. Whether it's reviewing our policies, advising on risk management, or responding quickly when we need support, they consistently deliver with professionalism and care. It’s reassuring to work with people who take the time to understand our business and who we trust to have our best interests at heart. Lycetts bring both expertise and a personal touch, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.

I just want to let you know how grateful I am to Vince for his recent help. We were in a tricky spot and he was patient but also very knowledgeable and advised me very, very well. Frankly, the best house insurance professional I have ever come across and very nice to deal with as well.

Working with Lycetts is a joy. We can get on with running our business, leaving all our insurance requirements to Lycetts. We know they are doing all the hard work for us and have our best interests at the heart of what they do. With the great working relationships we have with the Lycetts team members, any help, advice or guidance is never more than a phone call away. To me personally, they feel more like internal members of our business than they do external advisors. Graeme Thompson, Newcastle upon Tyne

Thank you for the excellent service and advice we received from Doug in our latest renewal. The communication was excellent, and Doug was up against a competitive quote. The Lycetts process, care and price made the decision to renew with yourselves very easy. Doug would be very deserving of praise for a job very well done and another very satisfied client. I am aware that this is also a team effort so thank you-Team Lycetts.

If the claim is to be for theft or malicious damage, please remember to report the incident to the police and obtain a crime reference number. On larger claims (in excess of £2,000), insurers may wish to appoint a loss adjuster, in which case your Lycetts team will provide advice on procedure. Regarding liability claims, it is essential that any potential claims are notified to Lycetts immediately and all correspondence is promptly forwarded to your Lycetts contact.
