ABOUT
Our founding principal has worked within Local Government Regulatory Services for 23 years and has further years of experience working within the private sector. He has a unique understanding of the challenges for businesses within the leisure and hospitality sector and a creative mind that can provide solutions without saddling you with costly or burdensome processes.
As a licensing specialist our founding principal has accrued decades of experience in aspects of licencing work, conducting regulatory inspections, preparing cases for hearings, and presenting cases in quasi-judicial hearings. With a sound health and safety background and network of trusted experts we can cover all the topics, such as food safety, fire safety, environmental health, and noise prevention strategies through to planning.
We are members of the Chartered Institute of Legal Executives (CILEx), hold qualifications with NEBOSH (National Examination Board in Occupational Safety and Health), and are now registered with The Institute of Fire Safety Managers.
During our first 12 months we have seen fantastic uptake in our services with increasing numbers of licence applications granted, and we have been involved in many hearings with resulting successful outcomes.
In addition to expanding our network of associates, which now includes specialists in Information Governace and Police Processes, we have also advanced our services to now included fire risk assessment, while continuing to build on our brand.
