S.H.I.E.L.D. MEMBERS TESTIMONIALS
We operate in a highly regulated environment and
Data Protection is a key element of our daily work.
We are proud to maintain the standards for Membership of SHIELD and have taken advantage of the free legal advice which is available as a SHIELD Member benefit.
We have found the advice to be timely, accurate and informed. It is a comfort to be able to pick the phone up to a Lawyer when there is a query without having to
worry about the cost.
Andy Coates, MD Quality Bailiffs


As a S.H.I.E.L.D. Holder we use our Membership to demonstrate
to existing and prospective residents and our professional regulators that we
will safely store and protect Personal Data in accordance with the Law.
The Member benefits allow us to access immediate answers to various the regulatory and procedural questions which arise from time to time. It is reassuring to know the Member Benefits and the free telephone helpline is supporting our Organisation.
Donna Sealey, Manager, Park Farm Lodge Nursing Home
As a SHIELD member we have unfettered access to a highly
experienced and knowledgeable legal team.
Our membership has provided an essential GDPR safety net which has delivered free, fast, friendly and well informed legal advice exactly when we needed it.
Thank you to Robert Linford and the brilliant team at Transition Law S.H.I.E.L.D.
Melissa Austin, Director, EGO Recycling Ltd


Working as a web design professional, I am often
engaged by clients who do not understand the legal
implications of Data Protection compliance.
Being a SHIELD holder allows me to guide them to get free legal advice on the subject, which means I know their Website policies will be compliant and they will be getting the very latest legal information without any cost. It’s a win win situation and allows me to concentrate on my job of building the client’s website.
Steven Johnston, Owner, 121 Web Consultancy
Being an initiative created by and for local businesses,
it is important that Lichfield Business Improvement District
encourages a culture of compliance within its own organisation and
leads the way for the local businesses we support.
Receiving free updates as part of our S.H.I.E.L.D. Membership has
allowed us to keep up with the various changes in the legislation and the Regulators practices as GDPR has developed. We are grateful to the
team at S.H.I.E.L.D. for their continuing support enthusiasm and skill.
David Tomalin, BID Manager, Lichfield BID


Data Protection is increasingly important in the
electronics world. S.H.I.E.L.D. Membership has allowed us
to demonstrate our compliance to various customers and prospects.
In addition, the free Member benefits have been very useful, especially in learning how to assess our suppliers and understanding the responsibilities we have to them and vice versa. We have just renewed our membership for another year. Membership has proved to be both free and priceless.
