Voices from the Compliance Community

Every APCC member brings a unique perspective — from experienced consultants to those new to the profession. Our Member Stories share those voices, highlighting what membership means in practice: connection, collaboration, and professional growth.

Each short video captures how members are using the APCC network to build relationships, stay informed, and raise compliance standards across the industry.

// Iga Sloa – Digital Regs

“I’ve known about the APCC for quite some time — first through my work at Levant Partners(????) and later while collaborating with one of your affiliates, Leo Reg Tech. I’ve always recognised the value of the network the APCC provides, but becoming a member has given me a much deeper appreciation of it.”

“From my perspective, the experience has been extremely valuable — especially the session on AI, which directly relates to my business. At Digital Regs, we help compliance officers navigate regulation around AI, GDPR, and digital operational resilience, so that session really stood out. Beyond the content, the ability to speak with other members, share ideas, and even find partnership or business opportunities has been invaluable. The conference itself was brilliantly organised, and I’m looking forward to becoming an active part of the APCC community.”

// Lisa Smith – Cobra Network

“The best part of attending the APCC Conference today has been hearing directly from industry experts and leaders — gaining insight that simply isn’t available through the usual media channels. The depth of knowledge and openness in these discussions is what makes the APCC so valuable.”

“The collaborative approach that the Association takes offers huge benefits. It’s an opportunity to connect with other compliance consultancy firms, share experiences, and understand what’s happening across different areas of the industry. Being able to see the bigger picture — what’s going on in their world as well as our own — helps us all stay informed, adaptable, and more effective in the work we do.”

// Vicky Ellison – Ellison Compliance

“I’ve had so many benefits from being an APCC member. It’s opened up new business opportunities through direct enquiries, and I’ve attended numerous conferences with excellent speakers — I always come away having learned something new. As someone who works independently, being able to pick up the phone to another compliance consultant is invaluable. That support network makes a huge difference, and it’s one of the things I appreciate most about being part of the APCC.”

“Today’s conference has been another great experience. The networking sessions have been really valuable, and every presentation has offered something useful. I’ve made new contacts, reconnected with familiar faces, and picked up practical insights to take back to my work. It’s been thoroughly enjoyable and productive.”

“If I could give the APCC any advice, it would be simple — keep doing what you’re doing. The Association is always moving forward, whether that’s through initiatives like the Compliance Diploma or deeper engagement with the FCA. You can see real progress, and that sense of momentum is vital. In any business, if you stand still, you fall behind — and the APCC is anything but standing still.”
