We’re proud to share that Risk Evolves has joined Barnett Waddingham (BW), a leading UK professional services consultancy. This marks an exciting new chapter for our team and clients, as we bring our specialist expertise in cyber security, data protection, governance and compliance into BW’s growing Risk and Resilience Services team.
Over the past few years, we’ve built a strong and successful partnership with BW, working together on high-profile client projects. Our shared values and practical, client-first approach to risk management have made this a natural evolution of our relationship.
Seven members of the Risk Evolves team have now joined BW. As part of the firm, we’ll continue to provide expert support to our clients across a range of areas, including:
- Cyber and data privacy from identifying vulnerabilities to incident response planning and supply chain risk reviews.
- Governance, risk and compliance with tailored, proportionate frameworks that reflect each client’s needs.
- Business continuity and resilience including crisis response planning and leadership workshops.
- Training and culture change through engaging programmes that build risk awareness and reduce exposure.
Helen Barge, Founder and Managing Director of Risk Evolves, who has joined BW as Principal and Senior Risk and Resilience Consultant, said:
“Barnett Waddingham has a first-class reputation within the risk industry; the firm is well known for building strong, long-term relationships based on collaboration and trust.
“What particularly attracted us to BW was the alignment of our values; we both prioritise client-centric service, integrity in everything we do, and a genuine commitment to helping organisations build resilience.
I am proud to be joining the business with my other Risk Evolves colleagues.”
“BW’s commitment to innovation and technology enhancement ensures clients receive intelligent solutions focused on delivering the right outcomes and I am hugely excited about Risk Evolves joining the firm. We look forward to delivering enhanced expertise to our clients.”

Harshil Shah, Head of Risk and Resilience Services at BW, said:
“This strategic move cements BW’s credentials as a leading professional services consultancy that helps clients make better decisions around strategy, operations and people by leveraging risk, resilience and data analytics expertise.
“Risk Evolves has been a trusted partner for several years, and this move formalises and strengthens that relationship. Our clients will benefit from continuity of service while gaining access to our combined award-winning expertise.”
We’re incredibly excited about this next step and look forward to continuing to help organisations manage risk with confidence, now as part of Barnett Waddingham.
