Company History and Affiliation
The TDN Group was developed primarily out of continuous frustration from the business community at the continuous failed services provided by the major players in the Cash in Transit Industry. There was a firm belief that a market exists for a niche service provider who can supply a quality Cash in Transit service to customers in the Sydney CBD and metropolitan areas.

The TDN Group was formed in November 2001. Tom Nettlefold is the licensee of a NSW Master Security Licence held by TDN Group Pty Ltd.

TDN Security is a member of the Institute of Security Executives (I.S.E.). I.S.E. is a prestigious, long established and interactive organisation with a strict code of ethical behaviour and a proved track record in the furtherance of professionalism and integrity within the security industry. TDN Security is regularly audited by I.S.E. to ensure compliance to the NSW Security Legislation & Security Industry Code of Practice.

TDN Group employs the services of Barker Harrison Accountants and Sylvia Liddard & Associates Solicitors.
