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! 💪

Every great team has that one person who just makes everything smoother, happier, and a little more fun. At Reed Security, that person is Sarah Hardy, our Awesome Administrator - yes, that’s her actual job title (and yes, she lives up to it daily).

Sarah’s been rocking the front lines at Reed for 4 years now, and honestly, we don’t know what we’d do without her. She’s the friendly voice you hear when you call. She’s the calm in the inbox storm. She sets up your Alarm.com accounts. She helps you troubleshoot your tech when our Support Desk is jammed. She even collects your bills - but in the nicest way possible.

Basically, Sarah gets stuff done...and she does it with a smile.

But she’s not just helping clients. She’s also helping us celebrate. She’s on the Reed Security 25th Birthday Party Planning Committee (and it’s gonna be epic on May 25th). And she’s the one who sneaks out to pick up cakes or cookies for staff birthdays. Pro tip: don’t stand between Sarah and the bakery box.

When we asked her what she likes about working at Reed Security, she said:

“It feels like family here. I love helping people, and we have so much fun together.”

And she means it. Some of her favorite Reed moments include:

🎳 A full-team Bowlarama battle (yes, there were strikes… and questionable dance moves)

💪 A staff workout with a personal trainer (there were also groans and sore muscles for days)

Outside of work, Sarah’s a total family-first kind of person. She loves baking, spending time with her crew, and getting zen with Cosmic Kids Yoga (Google it - you’ll thank her later).

Sarah lives our values - Trust, Loyalty, Care, and Effort every single day, and she makes Reed Security better just by being herself.

Thank you Sarah for being Awesome!

We recently took the afternoon off for some fun and to recognize our achievements.

Don't worry, @TeamReed won't be joining any bowling leagues anytime soon.

Here's the photo dump:

We are thrilled to celebrate Lesli Brayshaw, our incredible Client Care Specialist, on completing six years with Reed Security! Lesli's journey with us has been remarkable, and we couldn't be more proud of her achievements.

When Lesli joined Reed Security, she was uncertain about adapting her support skills to the security industry. Today, she stands as a confident and indispensable part of our team, expertly assisting both home and business security clients. Her unwavering commitment to our core value of "We Care" shines through in every interaction, making a significant difference in the lives of our clients.

One of the most rewarding aspects of Lesli's job is the joy she feels when helping people and receiving heartfelt notes of appreciation. Her dedication and compassion are truly inspiring. A memorable moment for Lesli was when our entire office went to see Top Gun Maverick to celebrate our company's performance - a testament to the family-focused culture we cherish at Reed Security.

Lesli's excitement for learning about new technology keeps her at the forefront of innovation, ensuring our clients always receive the best support possible. Outside of work, Lesli enjoys movies, spending quality time with family and friends, and traveling.

Lesli, your hard work, and dedication are deeply appreciated. Here's to many more years of success and happiness at Reed Security!

Warmest congratulations from all of us at Reed Security! 🌟🎉
