Back in May, we all heard a LOT about the new GDPR regulations coming into force.
And since then a lot of business owners and managers round here have adopted the ostrich principle… you know, stick your head in the sand and hope it all goes away!

Would your business pass the 3 beers test?
It’s a Thursday evening. You’ve travelled to meet some contacts, and had a great day.
The meeting is very productive, and turns into 3 beers and a meal. Great fun and the night quickly slips away from you.
