In 2019, Richard relocated to Singapore, where he became the regional head of wine for 67 Pall Mall. Richard returned to Team Jancis in 2025 as editorial consultant, writing about wine across Asia and beyond, as well as producing podcasts and video. He increased his remit in 2026, becoming Head of Creative, Asia, with responsibilities for all things wine across the region, including events.
