EMPLOYEE SPOTLIGHT: ARIEL HAMBLIN CELEBRATES 9 YEARS AT REED SECURITY


This month, we’re celebrating Ariel Hamblin, who has been a key part of Reed Security for the past nine years! 

Ariel is our Accounting & Administration Manager, and she’s played a huge role in helping us grow and succeed. 

We sat down with Ariel to hear about her journey, what she loves about her work, and her thoughts on Reed’s success.

Why do you love working at Reed Security?

“It’s the family environment. Everyone is supportive, and I genuinely enjoy the work I do - it’s rewarding and keeps me engaged every day.”

What’s your role, and what do you do day-to-day?

“I’m the Accounting and Administration Manager. I oversee the Department, handling onboarding, contracts, and sales for our dealer network. My goal is to keep things running smoothly behind the scenes.”

What makes Reed Security different?

“We care about each client as an individual, not just a number. We focus on understanding their needs and providing security solutions that truly fit them and their needs.”

How has Reed Security grown over the years?

“We’ve added a lot of staff, and we’ve really grown into a family. Plus, the company has expanded nationwide, which is amazing to see.”

What’s a memorable moment from your time here?

“Definitely the staff events - barbecues, YXE smash therapy, axe throwing - I love when we do fun things together that build our team spirit.”

What do you love doing outside of work?

“I’m a mom, and we love to travel, garden, and just enjoy life together.”

What’s your best advice for someone starting a career at Reed?

“Learn how to find and access resources independently. Be the person who takes ownership and gets things done.”


👏 Huge thanks to Ariel for sharing her story and for everything she does to keep Reed Security moving forward. Stay tuned for more team spotlights as we celebrate the people behind the scenes who make Reed Security what it is today! 💪
