Richard has extensive experience in all areas of shipping, trading, insurance, finance and legal matters. Richard started his career working for the leading independent Rice Trading company in 2000 by working in various departments including contract execution; legal, insurance and shipping (time charter and voyage).
Richard then moved to Addax & Oryx Group’s Rice Trading Company, Ascot Commodities NV, where he managed all shipping operations for the carriage of approximately 1 million tons of rice per year. During this time, Richard was managing all aspects of shipping including the numerous demurrage claims generated by the majority of operations being in West Africa.
