“Overall I found Advent to be a very professional outfit with a friendly and delivery focused approach, thereby allowing project challenges to be tackled together in an open and swift manner. 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.”

“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!”
