Hill Bingham Ltd was launched by our managing director Dr Stephen Hill.

​​

Dr Hill is our leading expert who has spoken at conferences and run courses in the UK, Europe, United Arab Emirates, Australia, New Zealand, United States and SE Asia aimed at both corporate and regulatory sectors in the areas of open source intelligence, cyber security, data protection and counter fraud awareness.

 

He has trained UK and European police forces (including Operation Podium in the buildup to the 2012 Olympics and the Metropolitan Police Counter Terrorist Group SO15), Home Office, the Lithuania Government Cyber Crime Unit, Abu Dhabi Accountability Authority and the National Crime Agency spending two years training their National Cyber Crime Unit (NCCU) on level 2/3 open source intelligence.

 

Over the last 10 years he has worked closely with private-sector fraud units, not-for-profit organisations, major world banks, telecommunication companies and international retailers.

Prior to setting up Hill Bingham Ltd Stephen spent over 11 years working for a top international firm of chartered accountants heading the Fraud and Forensic Group, leading an expert body advising clients on prevention, detection and recovery of fraudulent assets, working closely with the police, HMRC and private sector.

 

He spent 12 years as a Trustee Director of the Fraud Advisory Panel and chaired their Cyber-Crime Workgroup and is now a special advisor.  He is an honorary member on the steering committee of the London Fraud Forum and sits on the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners (ACFE) UK Chapter committee.

Stephen has an excellent command of the material, and communicated it (as well as answering questions) brilliantly.

He is a gifted communicator who makes quite dry content palatable and accessible...
