Why work with me
I help you (and your employees) to understand everything you need to have in place to comply with the UK GDPR and Data Protection regulations, as well as protecting yourself and your business from data loss and fraud.
The more you know about GDPR and data protection, the more you understand about what you can and can’t do with other people’s personal data, the less likely you are to do anything wrong.
And I don’t want you to get anything wrong.
I want to make it easy for you to understand your responsibilities as a business owner and protect the personal data that you collect in your business.
I know that GDPR can seem overwhelming and daunting. I’m not going to judge you for your current understanding of GDPR, I’m very aware that you may not have had any previous training about data protection regulations.
I will work with you to break everything down into simple, easy and manageable steps so that you can implement everything you need in your business to comply with GDPR and Data Protection law.

Background and Experience
I’ve been providing Data Protection training since 2007 – back when the old Data Protection Act 1998 was still the law and GDPR wasn’t yet a thing. I have obviously updated my training a little since then!
My background is in Audit and Compliance. I have 16 years experience working in Business Process Outsourcing, providing finance, HR and payroll services to central government departments and private sector clients.
Over the years I’ve trained as a Lead Auditor, Prince II Project Management Practitioner and I am an Accredited Counter Fraud Specialist, completing my training in 2016 with the NHS counter fraud authority. I also have a strong background in ISO 9001 quality standards and ISO 27001 Information Security standards.
As an experienced auditor, I’ve lost track of the number of audits I’ve completed and the number of times I’ve hosted external audits by Information Security and Quality auditors as well as The National Audit Office. But I can tell you it is an awful lot.
I’ve delivered GDPR, Data Protection and Fraud Awareness training to 1000s of people and my aim is always to make the training engaging, memorable and as relevant as it can possibly be.
The bits you won’t find on my CV
When I’m not helping people to protect their personal data, I can usually be found putting my Psychology degree to good use and am currently working towards a professional Coaching qualification. I am a firm believer that life is better in flip flops. I love upcycling, chocolate, star gazing, pottering about in the garden, ice cream of any flavour, exploring new cities, people watching and drinking copious amounts of tea.
