A word about our founders...

Rich Smith

(Managing Director)

Rich Smith founded RS22 with Aaron Matthews when they recognised that Humanity in the Information Security industry was waning and wanted to start something to reverse the trend.

Setting up RS22 has allowed Rich to continue to deliver the world class support he’s spent his career providing but also to ensure that this high professional attitude isn’t only found on the Technical Desk. Rich’s ethos provides an environment which allows interpersonal relationships to flourish so that business relationships can flourish too.

In his impressive career, Rich has managed the technical teams for some of the UK’s largest Information Security businesses and is proud to have maintained a flawless record delivering 100% of the SLAs over nearly two decades.

Aaron Matthews

(Sales Manager)

Aaron Matthews wanted to be a salesman from his school days. A force of nature, Aaron is the epitome of candid honesty and roguish charm. His impressive professional successes are down to two factors: Honesty and Mutual Benefit.

He’ll do whatever it takes to help your business achieve its goal when it comes to Information Security and uses his extensive knowledge and connections in the industry to find the right solutions at the right prices.

Aaron has a Human tendency to turn the air blue with language that could make a sailor blush, but he’ll be polite as pie if you’ve got a sensitive disposition. There’s only one way to judge for yourself, and that’s to have a chat with him, Human to Human.

Greetings! We are #HumansBeforeTechnology.

Allow us to jump into the concept of what “#HumansBeforeTechnology” means and why it’s a big deal here at RS22.

Essentially, it emphasises the crucial importance of prioritising high-quality interpersonal interactions and relationships within a business setting.

Research indicates that focusing on effective inter-Human services and communications leads to more harmonious and productive work environments. By quickly resolving conflicts and fostering positive atmospheres, businesses can improve the overall efficiency and boost team morale.

It’s worth noting that despite the numerous technological advancements in the modern era, it is still Human beings who ultimately make decisions and operate these crucial Technological tools.

As such, its paramount to ensure that the Human element is considered when implementing any Technological solution within an organisation.

Although our reliance on Technology continues to grow, so too does the need for increased protection and security in the digital sphere.

By prioritizing Human relationships and inter-personal skills, we can foster a work environment in which protective Technologies in Information Security can continue to evolve and improve, unimpeded by simple Human issues such as trust or misunderstanding.

So, to us at least, “#HumansBeforeTechnology” is about acknowledging the vital role Humans play in driving success in the workplace. By placing a focus on the needs and perspectives of Humans first, organizations can create more positive, efficient, and technologically advanced working environments.
