SELECTION OF BUSINESS CLIENTS

LGS.uk are acknowledged experts in Licensing Law and we can help with all of your training needs. We have conducted training programmes 60 of the new Licensing Authorities.  At all of these programmes we sort feedback on the overall impression of the training on a scale of 1 (very poor) to 5 (very good). The current average score of ALL sessions is 4.65. MD Ian Webster said he was delighted with the positive feedback as it showed that councils were very pleased with the course being provided.

Comments following training include:

“Using a specialist noise report LGS.uk managed to remove restrictive conditions from our planning permission and vary our licence to allow later trading.  Having access to a single source of professional advice for planning and licensing was invaluable” - James Storey, Owner, The Aviary Raynes Park

Staging an outdoor festival is a difficult process due mainly to getting the correct legal permissions.  LGS.uk provided expert advice at every stage including detailed negotiations with the Council, Police and Neighbours.  I would recommend their services for anyone needing planning or licensing advice. - Doug Durant, Lodestar Festival, Cambridge

"Excellent day very thought provoking, Members have learned a lot, thank you" - Loretto Dennigan, Licensing Officer, North Dorset DC

"As a leading fashion house it is important that we receive professional advice in a timely way.  LGS.uk provided such advice when we identified potential new premises which needed a changer of use to B1.  They negotiated with planners to acquire the necessary permissions in very short space of time." - Mr Muntz Director of BODYAMR Studio

 

“Very valuable and most enjoyable, held my attention throughout the day” - Cllr Carden, Leader South Norfolk Council

"We used LGS.uk for both our Planning and Licensing including an appeal under planning to extend the use of our restaurant.  We have found them to be both professional and fully trained in every spect of the process.  We were very pleased with them and would reecommend them to anyone" - Ms.Panadda Supawan, Thai Restaurant Owner

“Very surprised I remembered so much, as it was all new to me” - Tunbridge Wells Licensing Officer following Chamber quiz

“The pitch was spot on with the programme designed to meet Members' needs and not simply to read out sections in the Licensing Act, as is the practice of some other trainers. I was impressed by the subtle way it provoked thought, giving rise to lively debate and held the attention of the audience throughout the session.” - Kevin Ruck, Head of Licensing, Epsom & Ewell Borough Council

“LGS.uk helped to ensure that despite objections and a formal hearing we opened on time with the permissions that we needed to run a successful fine dining restaurant.  I would recommend LGS.uk to any new business that needed expert help with planning or licensing.”  - Mike Frajt, Proprietor Court Yard Restaurant, Deal

“Well presented with good content and kept attention of a varied audience” - Officer, Tandridge District Council

“The seminar was professional, understandable and fun. The programme was well prepared and very informative and included some lighthearted sessions that brought the practical application of the Act to life. Our Members commented that this had been an excellent training session which held their attention for the whole day." – Chris Ketley, Training Officer, Swale Borough Council

“Following a neighbour complaint LGS.uk skilfully used a combination of official reports, statutory guidance, Council policy and case law to persuade the Licensing Committee to allow a licence in accordance with our planning permission“  - Richard Mason, Landlord (Red Lion, Sittingbourne)

“Very clear speaker and questions given a considered and concise answer, overall very good” - Ben Murray Licensing Officer, Reigate & Banstead Borough Council

“From the Members comments they really enjoyed the day and, as importantly, they had gained a real insight into the complexities of the coming change in Licensing and the impact on them and officers” - Paul Murphy, Head of Licensing, Arun District Council
