Chestertons is proud to announce that its Operations Director, Lisa Kilkenny, has become a Certified EU General Data Protection Regulation Practitioner (ISO 17024-certificated). This achievement follows Lisa's attendance at an intensive training course held in Gibraltar last month.

The course focused on the regulations, how the data protection principles work in practice, the policies and procedures necessary and practical guidance on how to implement an effective privacy and information security compliance programme.

Mike Nicholls, CEO of Chestertons said “New regulations are coming at us thick and fast in our industry currently. Ultimately, they all ensure a greater service for the end consumer and we like to be at the forefront of our industry in delivering that. Lisa’s knowledge will assist us in navigating new policies and procedures, taking the protection of client’s personal data very seriously. I am proud that our business continues to highly train our staff.”

Lisa Kilkenny, Operations Director said “It was a tough and challenging week’s course. I am passionate about compliance and ensuring Chestertons’ adherence to every regulation impacting our industry and our clients. Plus it is only right that clients’ personal data is properly handled. So that’s why I went on the course and I’m pleased that I can help keep Chestertons at the forefront our industry.”
