Training with the Exeter Chiefs

We’re team players at DPAS, it’s what we do. 

From our Data Protection training courses to our bespoke consultancy services, we work to empower and collaborate with organisations to leverage the value of their data. We offer support with  compliance, governance and strategic ambitions. 

So yes, we’re big on teamwork.

Funnily enough, we’re also big fans of collaborative team sports, Rugby in particular. We’re such big fans, in fact, that we decided to sponsor two formidable players this year: Abby Middlebrooke and Jack Yeandle of the Exeter Chiefs! 

We recently met up with the players to score a try or two and discuss tactics on field and in the boardroom. We even had time for a cartwheel or two! 

Keep your eyes peeled for more content from DPAS and the Exeter Chiefs, we have some exciting stuff in the works. 

We can’t wait to see our incredible athletes excel as the season continues – you can bet we’ll all be watching… we can justify Rugby during office hours as a team building exercise…. Right?
