Owner Barry Luthwaite has shared a deep interest since a small boy in learning all aspects of shipping companies, their vessels and trades.

Utilising his profound knowledge of markets and company thinking in a maritime career spanning more than 40 years, innovative ideas assisted by BRL have now become a competitive reality for our clients.

Prior to BRL, Barry held responsible positions in the B&C Group, Lloyd's of London Press, FT Group and Fairplay International.

The motivation and driving force behind BRL's team is the owner's adoption of the world's mercantile marine as a lifelong hobby since 1957, turning such knowledge of ships into a world-wide service for industry users.
