Leading the way.

As the year draws to close Tolmec continues to go from strength to strength. As our team continues to expand with the opening of our new office in east Africa, so does our influence in the world. Recently at a conference we were described as ‘one of the worlds leading companies’ in the field of gender equality and human security.

That was no understatement, we are working with governments and international organisations alike. We are supporting them to develop gender and security strategies that include cyber security and artificial Intelligence, gender and conflict prevention, gender and climate. All areas which are necessary for fulfillment of sustainable security nationally and internationally.

Our globe trotting particularly by Clare has seen us unpacking our bags in Canada, USA, UK, Finland, Sweden, Switzerland, Republic of Kosovo, Brussels and Kenya to name but a few. As we move into 2023 our aim for the year ahead is to further engage across Africa and establish concrete ties in Asia.

We are exited about where we are going. To find out more about our journey and what Tolmec can offer get in touch with us at [email protected]

Welcome to our first every blog. We will be regularly posting interesting and topical features highlighting what we at TolMec do and commenting on issues that we care about.

Organisations often struggle to properly protect their staff from the various adversarial and environmental threats that they are faced with. It can be difficult to find the right type of security and as a result, this often leads to individuals, groups or organisations being insufficiently protected.
At TolMec, we aim to put this right. We are an experienced and innovative team that lead the way in both physical and human security. Our focus is to offer our clients consultation where we can work together and strategise so that they or their customer can live and work in a safe environment.

Our team is dynamic and dedicated, led by myself and President Clare Hutchinson, we are at the forefront. In a world of constantly evolving threats it is crucial to have the right kind of security in place that is specifically tailored, this is why we work together with our clients and ensure that we assist them in developing and finding the right approaches.
