From Dining Table To Global Business In 20 Years



A West Country business launched by an entrepreneur working from his dining table has celebrated its 20th anniversary and now turns over £10m a year and employs 70 staff around the globe.


Computer Network Defence (CND) held a celebratory day to mark its two decades in business and brought workers from the UK and US together to enjoy the event. Headquartered in Corsham near Bath, the cyber security company was founded by Andy Cuff and wife Amanda. It now works across all areas of cyber-security, develops its own products, recruits in the sector and provides intelligence to all the world’s major governments.


Andy, originally from near Preston, Lancs, said:


“When I left the RAF after 23 years I secured a contract for cyber security and formed a company in order to take it on. Amanda and I began CND literally on our dining table with servers in the garage."

Cyber security wasn’t much known about then in the wider business world, so we were pioneering.

“Since then, the business has kept on growing and everything has been organic; we’ve had no external investment. We work in the public and private sectors and have clients from SMEs to

government, space to maritime and charities to banks."


“Celebrating our 20th anniversary was a big occasion and we held a great garden party at the Digital Mansion in Corsham where we have one of our offices. It was an opportunity to thank our staff who have been incredibly loyal over the years. We flew in staff from our Isle of Man and US offices."


“We really focus on the work-life balance for our staff, and we are now looking ahead to our next 20 years, new offices and opportunities. Our staff are constantly working on new products and services and CND will continue to innovate and stay ahead of the curve in cyber security.”
