Bedroq has appointed James Green as Chief Executive Officer, marking an exciting new chapter for the business as it continues to expand its secure managed services, cyber security, and AI capabilities across the UK’s critical sectors.
James joins Bedroq following a period of significant progress, including the award of multiple UK policing contracts for advanced video analytics and facial recognition, alongside continued growth in the energy and financial services sectors.
His appointment will see Bedroq founder and owner, Edward Armitage, move into the role of Chief Technology Officer (CTO), allowing him to focus on developing Bedroq’s technology portfolio and the platforms, automation, and AI capabilities behind its services.
Building on a strong foundation
As organisations across the UK face increasing pressure to strengthen cyber resilience, protect critical infrastructure and realise the benefits of emerging technologies, Bedroq is focused on helping customers turn complex technology challenges into practical, dependable solutions.
Combining expertise across Information Technology (IT) and Operational Technology (OT), Bedroq supports organisations operating in highly regulated and mission-critical environments, where security, reliability and performance are essential.
Edward Armitage, founder and owner of Bedroq, explains:
“Our customers need to get more value from the technology and information they already have. A powerful AI or analytics tool is only useful if the data can reach it in a usable format, the infrastructure is dependable and people can rely on it in their daily work. Bedroq build solutions that turn our customers’ data into searchable outputs, whether that’s video surveillance footage for the police, SCADA system outputs for Energy, or anything in between.
“We’ve made good progress over the past year, and bringing James in gives us the leadership capacity to build on it. He understands the critical managed services we’re delivering, and he shares my dedication to our people and customers.
“I remain fully committed as owner. As CTO, I’ll be able to spend more time developing the technology and services that help our customers excel.”
Experienced leadership for the next stage of growth
James brings 20 years of experience in the technology industry, with a background spanning technical leadership, commercial growth and large-scale technology transformation.
His previous roles include Managing Director of IT Services at OneAdvanced and Chief Technology Officer positions at Daisy Group and Alternative Networks. Throughout his career, he has led customer technology strategies and cloud transformation programmes, helping organisations navigate complex technology environments.
Speaking about his appointment, James said:
“What attracted me to Bedroq was the depth of its technical expertise and its clear focus on customers whose technology underpins critical operations across the UK. At a time when cyber resilience and the protection of critical national infrastructure are under increasing scrutiny, Bedroq is exceptionally well placed to support organisations operating in highly regulated sectors, including policing, energy and financial services.
“My focus will be on helping the business grow while staying close to our customers: understanding their priorities, delivering dependable services, and ensuring that their investment in security and AI translates into practical, measurable value. I’m looking forward to working with Ed and getting to know the whole team.”
Looking ahead
Bedroq’s ambition remains firmly focused on helping organisations responsible for critical operations make better use of secure, reliable and innovative technology.
The strengthened leadership structure will support continued investment in its people, services and technical capabilities, while preserving the close customer relationships and practical approach that have shaped the business to date.
Bedroq will remain under Ed Armitage’s ownership, with James Green leading the company as CEO and working alongside Ed to deliver its next phase of growth.
