With over 20 years of experience in the industry Richard is a third generation Insurance Broker. His first job was sitting behind a counter in an office on the outskirts of Leeds dealing with walk-ins, looking to arrange their home and motor insurance.

Richard has been immersed in a great number of different areas the insurance industry has to offer in the UK and around the world. He has dealt with individuals protecting their most precious assets to large corporations with complex insurance programmes.

Having worked around UK and dealt with London Insurers, he then worked for five years in Australia where he ended up heading up the Aerospace division of an international brokerage.

Since 2011 Richard has been specialising in Cyber Insurance and the risks posed by the increased use of technology in our everyday lives.

Richard recently joined Onda, an MGA that is looking to make Cyber Insurance Simple; doing away with increasingly long and complicated proposal forms, so people can concentrate on what Cyber Insurance is: an insurance policy that responds to the threats businesses see in today’s digitally connected world.

In his spare time, he still enjoys playing the odd game of rugby and cricket.
