Our People & Values
Our Story
We are a family-owned business established in 2013. Our Risk Management services were originally part of our company Kroft Pty Ltd, however, as the demand for the risk services side of the business grew, Run the Risk was born.
We work with clients across urban and regional Victoria, regularly serving areas such as Castlemaine, Bendigo, Maryborough, Ballarat, Shepparton, Numurkah, Geelong, and Melbourne. Our focus is on supporting small to medium-sized organisations in the public, private, and not-for-profit sectors, helping them navigate risk with tailored, practical solutions.
