Cool Waters Cyber, a provider of complete cyber security solutions, has expanded its team and opened a new headquarters at Tremough Innovation Centre (TIC).

Cool Waters Cyber has welcomed two new members to its award-winning Cornish Cyber Apprentice Scheme, a project which aims to create new high-tech careers for young people in Cornwall. Adding to its team of four, Jamie Barnett and James Nixon joined the business at the start of October, after standing out from 30 other apprenticeship applicants.

Mark Faithfull, Founder of Cool Waters Cyber commented: ”Our team growth and headquarter expansion shows our commitment to increasing opportunities for high-tech careers in Cornwall.”

Cool Waters Cyber gets NCSC stamp of endorsement

Recently, Cool Water Cyber was appointed as Cornwall’s first and only Assured Service Provider; a status granted by the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) to a handful of firms in the UK to acknowledge certified providers of security advice.

“As Cornwall’s first and only NCSC Assured Service Provider, our team is trusted to deliver cyber security advice to businesses across the UK.  The scheme is focused on helping all organisations, including charities, obtain Cyber Essentials certification. This not only protects the business from the most common cyber threats, but it also opens doors to new business opportunities and public sector contracts. Being part of Tremough Innovation Centre meant that we recently helped fellow TIC resident and restorative leadership programme advisor, RJ Working, obtain Cyber Essentials, so that they too can take back control of their cyber security.” Mark added.

Matt Harrington, Head of Cornwall Innovation Centres said: “It’s fantastic to see another Cornish business growing and flourishing in this important sector. Cyber security is an issue that all business owners should be aware of and Cool Waters Cyber’s recent appointment as an Assured Service Provider adds further credibility to the company. Tremough Innovation Centre offers the ideal solution as they continue to grow, and we look forward to supporting this ambitious company though the next stage of their development.”

The Cornwall Innovation Centres comprise of three Centres across Cornwall, aimed at inspiring dynamic people to grow and build innovative enterprises leading to business success. Over 150 businesses are run from the three locations: Truro (Health & Wellbeing Innovation Centre, Treliske), Pool (Pool Innovation Centre) and Penryn (Tremough Innovation Centre).
