What my clients say
I’ve had the pleasure to work with some great people and organisations. Here’s what some of them have had to say about working with me.
We recently commissioned Susi Calder of Susify to carry out a full data protection audit of our service after identifying some gaps in our processes. From start to finish, Susi was outstanding. She brought not only expert knowledge of data protection
requirements, but also a deep understanding of the VCSE sector and the
specific challenges organisations like ours face.
Her approach was thorough, calm, and
reassuring. She conducted staff interviews and surveys in a way that put everyone at ease, encouraged independent thinking, and reinforced the importance of safeguarding personal information. The resulting report, risk assessment, and practical recommendations have been
invaluable in strengthening our policies and practices.
Susi’s combination of expertise,
clarity, and supportive challenge has been a real asset to us. We have
gained so much from her input, and we would strongly recommend her to
any organisation—particularly those in the VCSE sector—seeking expert,
approachable, and highly effective data protection support.

Susi is the antidote to the modern business consultant. Kind, enthusiastic and intelligent people, her enthusiasm and passion for dealing with the vital, but tedious, things that come up when running a small business is both bewildering (to me!) and amazing. Susi strips away the BS and simplifies the jargon. Without her, I would probably still be sat with my head in my hands, wondering where to start.

Thank you so much for this - we are absolutely over the moon with the handbook. Thank you so much for your perseverance with this and for completely getting where we were coming from. This is just above and beyond what we were hoping for and we are so proud to be able to give this to our amazing volunteers.
It has been an absolute joy working with you - and thank you so much for supporting us through all the tricky bits - you are an inspiration!

Susi was so helpful. All questions were answered with factual and detailed information. She was quick to fit a phone call in with me and gave me some great advice. I feel I can now handle my business with better confidence knowing Susi is there to support me. Thank you! Much appreciated and highly recommended.

Susi was really helpful in setting up my webpage, she made it very clear to understand the process. She had some fantastic ideas. The process was made hassle free. Susi was very professional and friendly. I have had a lot of business because of Susi's skills in building my website.

I have been involved in the running of a charity for 7 years. At the beginning of 2019 me and my husband decided to begin our own charity paying for cataracts for the very poorest Individuals in The Gambia. We were introduced to Susi Calder to help us make key decisions about the best and most effective way of doing this. Advice on line is there..... but is bewildering. In just one hour Susi guided us through the fog we were experiencing. She is knowledgeable, wise and so very experienced in this sector. I recommend her services to anyone who hopes 'to make a difference'. We are well on our way to having our charity up and running.

Susi delivered a great training session on governance for us at Spark. Interactive, informative and pitched at just the right level.

Susi has been providing Rocket Race with an amazing service for a number of years now, recruiting and looking after 100s of volunteers every year, providing good workable feedback and including herself within the core team. I trust Susi implicitly and she has proven to be more than capable of dealing with any problem Rocket Race throws at her.
An absolute joy to work with.

Susi was incredibly helpful going through my business GDPR paperwork with me. What had previously seemed daunting and impossible became clear with her guidance. A great resource for any business!
