The GDPR deadline is looming, and your business must be compliant with the new regulations by 25th May or risk a fine of up to 4% of your turnover.

Find out more in the bulletin below, or call us to book a slot.
First indications are showing that technicians are finding the 2018/19 MOT annual training more difficult and at this early stage assessment pass rates are lower than in previous years.
