BRS | Barry Rogliano Salles

BRS plans to increase its scope in China by recruiting brokers for a new office in Hong Kong as part of its continuing global expansion.

Tim Jones is not an orthodox executive in his appearance, spurning the daily ritual of shaving, while sporting a short David Beckham-style ponytail.

Tim Jones has stepped down as chief executive of shipbroker ­Barry Rogliano Salles (BRS) but will remain as chairman in what he describes as a “smooth transition” of leadership.

Aged 62, Tim Jones only has three years before he must step down from the Barry Rogliano Salles (BRS) board, but he has no plans to retire from broking or the company that has been his life for 37 years.

Francois Cadiou is well aware that a priority as chief executive will be pulling in new clients as the shipowning tapestry evolves.

“There was no pressure and in reality no plan,” says Tim Jones of his career choices, which have taken him to the chief executive’s role at one of the largest shipbrokers, Barry Rogliano Salles (BRS).

SHIPBROKER Barry Rogliano Salles Group has painted a dire picture of shipping markets in its 2015 annual review, a year BRS president Tim Jones summarised as “as bad as expected”.

Twenty offices in 18 countries marks the culmination of rapid global growth for Barry Rogliano Salles (BRS) but the question is whether the Paris-based broker and others, such as the fast-expanding Affinity in London, can continue on the same trajectory given the challenges facing shipping and shipbuilding.

Said chief executive Tim Jones: “These are tough times for both owners and charterers and we do our best to find solutions that allow the companies to work together.”

The latter includes the company’s superyachts brokerage — chartering, crewing and management operation Yachting Partners International (YPI) — in Monte Carlo with 38 employees, plus information/technology arms like broking information platform AXSMarine embracing, among others, AXSTanker, AXSDry, Alphaliner, Alphabulk and Alphatanker.

Jones says BRS has 27% of staff — research and operations — supporting its brokers whereas, he claims, at some rivals it is as low as 12%.

BRS has grown globally and are now over 400 in the group and about 300 in our core activity broking. We have 20 offices in 18 countries and although our roots are French/European we now have 31 nationalities
