Zoe Edmeades
Managing Director
I am blessed to lead a dynamic team of experts with innovative services that really make a difference to the organisations we work with. I absolutely love my job and the people I work with. What we do is not a single event, it’s a way of life. When I am not living and breathing TSC I can be found curled up with my dogs by the fire, being tortured by my personal trainer or gossiping with my teenage girls.

Tony Edmeades
Operations Director
Having responsibility for ensuring that the business has the best working environment and processes is a challenge I relish. I am never happier than when assessing new systems and work flows to ensure team efficiency and a cohesive approach to the services we provide. This is only made easier with the highly talented team we have. Outside of work I’m a bit of a fitness freak and with a 10k run, a three-day boot camp and the Three Peaks Challenge already booked up, it’s going to be a great year.

Bebe Lees
Head of Communications
My passion for enabling learning and development is a great fit with my role as a Head of Communications with The Security Company. I work with a fabulous team of people creating engaging content on information security. With a long career in learning and development and now as a published author, I love it when people say ‘ahhh, now I get it’. My other passion is dogs, with four of my own. I also get a dog fix when I come to work and Doris is here.

Head of Business Development
Exploring the possibilities, pushing the boundaries and building relationships to find information security solutions for our clients is a challenge I relish. Consultancy experience in education, financial services and recruitment has developed my ability to be holistic, inclusive, creative and flexible whatever the complex needs of our clients are. Coffee and cake helps too!
Security tip: When you are out and about, hide and lock your valuables away – don’t give anyone the opportunity or inclination to take what is yours.
Ellie Brown
Business Development Executive
Having spent most of my career so far in the financial sector, I have continually been made aware of security threats. I am equally aware of how unsure staff can be about whose responsibility security is. As Business Development Executive at TSC, I engage and build relationships with businesses to help them raise security awareness and find information security solutions. We are in this together.

Lauren Groom
Content Specialist
I have experience in various sectors, from market research and commercial operations through to creative copywriting. As a Content Specialist, I'm able to use this experience and my passion for writing to create accurate and engaging communications for our clients. I love nothing more than learning something new, whether that is the latest phishing techniques or methods for cat whispering, although I haven’t yet succeeded in training my cats to do the housework.

There is never a dull moment working in the Projects & Delivery team! I love the challenge of coming up with exciting, innovative and fun ways to deliver our clients’ messages. Away from work, I am a squash-playing, mountain-walking, dog-loving ex-Bluecoat — quite an eclectic mix but that’s pretty much the norm around here which makes for a very interesting and diverse crew.

It’s an exciting time to be part of TSC with some amazing products being developed to support organisations and their employees to stay safe online.

Having a graphic design background, I enjoy the complexity of developing interactive training courses whilst making sure they look engaging to the user. I’ve previously worked in pharmaceutical and technical software sectors, so being a relative newbie to TSC, I’m enjoying learning how important being cyber secure is. I’ve recently moved to Suffolk, so I’m having fun exploring the county and it’s coastline, I love to Lindy Hop and Balboa and enjoy spending time with my family and friends.

Previously I have worked in rail and hospitality sectors as a digital learning specialist and have developed information security training for a number of different companies. This has given me a great insight into our customers challenges and requirements. Away from work I love getting on the local rivers in my kayak – but only when the weather is fine!

As the new Client and Project Manager for TSC I bring along a wealth of experience across the creative, public, and private sectors. I am a good listener who can emphasise and understand the needs of a client, to deliver a first-class service.

If I manage to squeeze in some time, I love to swim and enjoy spinning classes.

Megan Edmeades-Jones

After studying criminal and corporate investigations, I knew I wanted a career where I could influence change and support businesses to mitigate their risks. As someone who has been a victim of cybercrime, I also understand the devastating impact cyber criminals can have. I am thrilled to be part of the project management team at TSC who always go above and beyond to raise awareness in a fun and interactive way.

Tony Eftihiou
Creative Artworker
I've been a Creative Artworker for longer than I care to remember. A considerable amount of my career has been focused on the automotive sector, so joining TSC is a real departure for me, and a great opportunity to continue to learn and grow in an environment with very different design requirements. I was aware of the importance of cybersecurity, but since becoming part of The Security Company team I'm starting to understand just how essential it is – to protect both individuals and organisations alike from an ever-increasing number of online threats. I'm looking forward to playing my part in sharing that insight.

Joanna Bastable
Client & Project Manager
As a client project manager, I am excited to use my corporate experience in global customer management and I am very pleased to be part of the great TSC team. Outside of work, I have two sons so spend most of my time watching them in various sports matches. I also help on my family farm and love spending time outdoors.
Security tip: Never underestimate the importance of a long and strong password.
Kelly Pipes
Content Specialist, Communications
Many years of writing consumer-facing creative copy and developing campaign concepts has prepped me well for my role at TSC. There is nothing I love more than approaching complex briefs with a creative eye and aiming to connect deeply with the most important people of all – your employees. I trained and worked as a reporter too, so cyber security news is a constant companion as I work. Cyber risks and threats evolve at breakneck speed, and organisations need a trusted partner to turn to for relevant, relatable, reliable internal communications. That’s TSC.
Security tip: A long and strong password will defend your accounts from the most relentless brute force hacking attacks. Use three words combined with special characters and numbers.
