Staff Away Day 2022

Last week our team met up in beautiful Mid Devon to brainstorm new ideas, refresh our training and (most importantly!) indulge in a game of rounders with our sponsored Exeter Chiefs player Abby Middlebrook. 

Over the course of our Away Day we delivered presentations and brainstormed ideas, discussing how to improve and develop both new and existing branches of our business. We were also joined by Oliver from Monkey’s Paw Consultancy Ltd, who collaborated with our team on a more intuitive, agile sales approach. 

We’d just like to express our thanks to all of our team, whose dedication and  enthusiasm never wavers – whether it’s working hard to deliver their presentations or belting out ABBA, glass in hand, later that evening! A special thanks to our Northern team, Infinity Digital and last (but by no means least) the wonderful Abby, for making the trip by car and plane to join us. 

Now our headaches have abated, we’re primed and ready to deliver unparalleled expert data protection consultancy, with lots of exciting projects soon to follow.

Want to see more of DPAS behind the scenes? Meet our team!  We often do staff profiles whenever we have something to celebrate also, such as this one on Charlotte for her promotion.
