What Barbon does for you
Grip on your risks starts with the facts. Barbon combines risk management with insurance advice: not repairing afterwards, but knowing beforehand where the risk lies.
Together, our team brings more than 500 years of experience, from housing corporations and municipalities to production, wood and recycling companies with complex risks. Barbon is B Corp certified.
Analysing & identifying
Every building, every risk is individually mapped out, from object analysis to cyber diagnosis for NIS2 compliance. Not a generic assessment, but a concrete picture per client.
Anticipate & act
Risk engineering and insurance solutions in tandem, so that a risk does not only become visible the moment something goes wrong.
Agility & certainty
Damage prognoses and scenarios that provide directors and risk managers with guidance for decisions, also in the long term.
The insurer based their decision on an outdated image: a dusty hall with a high fire risk. Barbon had the factory independently inspected and used a report to demonstrate how modern and clean the company actually is. Result: appropriate coverage at a realistic premium.
For housing association Thuisvester, we brought risks into sharper focus with the Barbon Risk Monitor-driven approach. This enables Thuisvester to make better-substantiated choices, prioritise preventive measures, and work in a targeted manner towards a safe and future-proof real estate portfolio.
Strong growth and the peak season in the market changed the risk profile of this flower bulb wholesaler, leading the insurer to impose additional requirements. An on-site assessment showed that targeted adjustments were sufficient.
Who was Nicholas Barbon?
The choice of Barbon is a tribute to the innovative entrepreneur Nicholas Barbon. After the devastating Great Fire of London in 1666, he decided that things had to change. In 1680, he founded the first fire insurance company.
Barbon was a pioneer who relied on calculations and facts. Today, we bring that same energy and approach back to the market for the sectors in which we operate.
With today's technology, we offer you the security of tomorrow.
Our purpose
Personal & dedicated
We do not call you a client; you are a partner with whom we work side by side and whose file we know inside out. You can count on direct contact with our risk experts and you are very welcome at our historic office in Alkmaar.
Sharp on the facts
We do not sail blindly on assumptions and intuition, but on facts. If an assumption is no longer correct, whether it is an outdated risk perception or a common working method, we challenge it. Just like Nicholas Barbon, we use data analysis to make risks insightful and manageable. In this way, we look forward through the rear-view mirror to determine your course and make adjustments where necessary.
Riskologists
We prefer to call ourselves riskologists rather than advisors. For us, the starting point is not the policy, but your risk. We ask critical questions and tell you how it is in plain language. By first managing risks and only then insuring them, you know exactly where you stand.
