Our Team

Sharon is the proud founder and owner of Trade Credit Risk.  The business began in 2011 when Sharon saw a gap in the Australian market created by the lack of personalised service in the Credit Insurance broking space.  Sharon has over 30 years’ experience in Credit Insurance where her passion to succeed has been the common thread in her various roles with Insurers and Specialist Brokers.  

“The success of Trade Credit Risk comes from an amazing team who have the same enthusiasm and dedication to our clients as I have.  We strive to always be the best in our industry.” 

When not running her demanding and fast paced business, Sharon loves being a mother to her three daughters where her daily duties include table tennis domination and walking both her toy poodle and husband, Neil. She also has a keen eye for gardening.
