Who we are and what is important to us:

Beyond unifies three technology-driven brands, Wonde, Evouchers and Secure Schools. 

Each brand shares a vision to reduce the friction of adapting technology, to help customers navigate an often overwhelming area and provide powerful solutions that make their everyday life easier. 

The three brands run independently with the autonomy to continue to prosper although as part of the Beyond team, you’ll join a wider, supportive environment where you’ll be able to pull on the expertise and capabilities of the group. 

We do not limit ourselves to standing still. We look ahead and strive to disrupt the sector we operate in. We believe technology should not be complicated or overwhelming. It should do what it says - quickly, safely and efficiently.

Who Secure Schools are:

Secure Schools is an innovative ed-tech start-up on a mission to lead the education industry in adapting and overcoming threats to computer systems and networks. We achieve this by providing schools and multi-academy trusts with a first-of-its-kind, one-stop-shop cyber security management app (pretty cool, right?).  

Uniquely positioned as highly specialist in both cyber security and education - our laser-focus and deep understanding of schools enables us to offer exceptional products and services to an industry with contextual challenges. 

Our relationship with leadership teams, IT departments and service providers allows us to be ruthlessly independent, providing impartial intelligence that schools can trust.
