Get to know our team before you get in touch

Mark Botfield (managing director)


Mark established Farmcare Insurance Services in 1998, after working with a subsidiary of NatWest as a Regional Manager. He has built the business whilst retaining the ethos of providing personal service, ensuring all clients are known to the staff so they receive personal service.


Mark’s focus is visiting existing clients at renewal to maintain a good working relationship and to discuss any changes to their business as well as providing advice on cover and risk. As well as this, Mark also visits new business leads to obtain information enabling us to provide a quotation.

Alex joined Farmcare in July 2014. She had previously worked in financial services but was new to Farm Insurance. Alexandra started out supporting the day-to-day administration of the office and also took on a marketing role by establishing and running a Facebook page.
