What our clients say about insuring their business with Achmea Australia
Sue Nicholls, NSW
From famine to flood, Ben and Sue Nicholls have endured a lot in their life on the land. Based in Tottenham in Central West NSW, Ben and Sue are third generation farmers. Across multiple properties, they run cattle and sheep, and grow fodder as well as cash crops, including wheat, canola, barley, oats. Farming is at the heart of who they are.
The Nicholls switched their farm insurance to specialist agricultural insurer Achmea Australia in 2015. Since then, they have experienced the 2017-2019 drought and a storm so severe it almost demolished a home on one of their properties.
