Richard Barth
“Sound decisions come from understanding risk before it becomes visible.”
ConnectRichard is a risk and insurance advisor at Brown & Brown, a global insurance brokerage operating across the UK, Ireland, Europe, and internationally. The firm specialises in commercial, corporate, and real estate risk, supported by strong insurer relationships and broad market access.
Richard advises asset managers, property businesses, contractors, and professional advisers on the strategic management of property related risk. His work spans development, investment, and portfolios across residential, commercial, and mixed-use assets.
With a background in property investment and regeneration, Richard brings an operator’s perspective to risk, working closely with principals’ finance teams and professional consultants to identify exposure early and ensure decisions are aligned with commercial and long-term objectives.
His focus goes beyond insurance placement, concentrating on risk mitigation, programme structure, and governance-grade solutions that remain robust as assets scale, evolve, or come under greater scrutiny.
Richard understands risk from the inside out.
Having operated as a principal and developer, he knows how problems surface in real life. He brings a principles-led mindset to insurance, asking the right questions early and ensuring cover reflects the reality of the asset, the strategy, and how decisions are made.
That ability to anticipate risk, align protection properly, and prevent issues before they arise is why he is a Trusted Operator.
