Testimonial
“Saima delivered a ‘GDPR Update’ virtually to our members who are mostly school business managers across Nottinghamshire, Lincolnshire and Derbyshire in November 2020. Saima was a pleasure to work with and ensured her presentation was relevant to our members and covered the issues they are currently facing.
“The content of the presentation was excellent, with very clear guidance and practical tips given and feedback from our members echoed this. We hope to work with Saima again in the future.”
