SDM Holdings: Privately owned, independently driven

SDM Holdings Ltd is an independent, privately owned holding company and the ultimate owner of Secure Data Management Ltd, The Chatham Archive & Document Storage Company Limited and Broughton Poggs Business Park. Owned by Marc Chauveau, an active owner-manager, the company is supported by a team of brilliant staff. Our core business lies in Records Data Management, but we are involved in all facets of business support services.


In a business landscape where large PLCs and multinationals are acquiring smaller, client-focused suppliers and standardising services into a ‘one-size-fits-all’ model, we recognise that this approach does not suit many clients. We prioritise a more proactive and specialist service, ensuring that our clients' needs always come before shareholder profits.
