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.
Security tip: When travelling for business or pleasure, reduce your risk by only ever taking the information and devices you need for your trip.
Elaine Barker
Head of Projects and Delivery
I head up our Projects and Delivery team and have worked at The Security Company for a number of years. My team are extremely dedicated and I love our creative approach to all things information security. We work hard to ensure every campaign is engaging and inspiring and we are always looking at different ways to capture our audience’s attention. We have a fab foodie culture here at TSC and never miss an excuse for a day of deliciousness.
Security tip: If something looks suspicious, report it to your security team as soon as possible. You may not think you are a target, but the fact is, we all are.
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.

Jenny Mandley
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.
Security tip: Don’t assume that the padlock in your browser window means a website is safe. Look out for signs of a fake website, including spelling and grammar mistakes and misspelt URLs.

Mike Bailey
Head of Marketing
I have been lucky to have worked in marketing roles across several countries and cultures. Consequently, it is rare that client demands surprise me! As Head of Marketing my role is to understand what our clients' value in their information security programmes and demonstrate that we can deliver this to them. A big sport and dog lover, I am also an hispanophile having lived and worked in Spain for 14 years. Always available but calls during Real Madrid games may go to voicemail...
Security tip: The number of people in your security team is equal to the number of people in your company multiplied by their social media accounts.

Senior Client and Project Manager
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.
Security tip: Be vigilant and prudent in all your communication channels, both personal and professional.

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. As project manager, it’s great to be using my previous experience to deliver the highest standards of customer service.

Wendy Tobitt
eLearning Developer
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.
Security tip: Check your emails carefully and do not open attachments unless they’re from a known, trusted source.
Lee Inskip

With over 20 years’ experience in the digital learning industry, my passion is creating great learning experiences that are engaging and have a real positive impact on people’s skills and behaviours. 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!
