Our History

2HB Incorporated was founded in July 1994 by David Doggette and Reginald Hay, two visionaries who sought to create an ideal workplace where they could have more control over their work. Their mission was simple yet profound: to build a company that would not only excel in providing technology solutions but also prioritize the well-being of its employees.

 

From its inception, 2HB has been guided by the core values of Respect, Integrity, Service, and Excellence. The company's philosophy of "Family First" and adherence to the Golden Rule have shaped its culture and approach to business. These principles have been instrumental in 2HB's growth and success over the years.

 

As the needs of the intelligence community evolved, so did 2HB. The company expanded its services beyond its initial offerings to include cutting-edge areas such as Cybersecurity, Big Data, Cloud Technologies, and High Performance Computing. This adaptability, combined with a commitment to innovation, has allowed 2HB to remain at the forefront of technological solutions for its clients.

 

Throughout its journey, 2HB has garnered numerous awards and recognitions, a testament to its excellence in service and dedication to its clients. These accolades reflect the company's consistent delivery of high-quality solutions and its positive impact on the intelligence community.

 

Today, 2HB Incorporated stands as a premier service provider, offering a comprehensive portfolio of services executed by highly qualified, security-cleared professionals. Our success story is not just about technological achievements, but about creating a workplace where excellence thrives and where every team member contributes to the greater mission of empowering intelligence through expertise.
