OUR PEOPLE
Our founders being made up of both ex-military personnel and technology industry leaders
Our knowledge and expertise comes from within; with our founders being made up of both ex-military personnel and technology industry leaders, along with a wealth of experience across the company from the defence sector, we have a first-hand understanding from being in the customers’ shoes.
It’s our shared experiences, first-hand knowledge of the sector and deep understanding of how it operates that allows us to know what’s needed, when and how.
By combining forces we aim to make the complex simple by streamlining the delivery of defence capabilities and build a stronger, more efficient team to meet today’s challenges.

The thing she most enjoys about tlmNexus is the way the company treats its employees. They are treated as trusted professionals. In every employee survey, our employees say the best thing about working here is the “the people”. We want people to feel like they belong here.
Outside work, Emma and her husband enjoy watching their son play football and watching Brighton and Hove Albion.elementum.

Outside work Hayley says she does like an exercise fad, whether that be training for a half-marathon, trying to find a six-pack (“only one I’ve found so far is in a shop” ), tennis… badminton is her new thing but ask her in six months…
