Bill Ratcliffe
Founder (The Genius)
Bill, our founder, was the heart and soul of TLR. Bill worked in the Australian Government, critical infrastructure, and the defence sector in both Australia and the entire Asia-Pacific market.
Through his work life, he helped many, made them better people whilst they didn’t realise that was happening. He was a mentor, supporter, wrangler and protector and most importantly one of nature's gentlemen.
Sadly Bill is no longer with us but his security knowledge and insights will forever be the driving force behind the entire team's mission in delivering stellar services to those that need it.
