I only have good things to say with regards to Advent and would not hesitate to work with them again or recommend them to another government organisation.”
Department for Work and Pensions
“Thank you for removing the noise from our GDPR preparations. Throughout the short course you made complex information very accessible, giving interesting real life examples which enabled us to better understand the concepts and our obligations. I was pleased you took a common sense approach to unpicking GDPR as other suppliers we had previously spoken to had made us feel quite anxious about the whole thing!”
