I have worked with Nick for a long time…

I have worked with Nick for a long time and can honestly say he is extremely professional at what he does. He takes everything into consideration and carefully looks at every detail to make sure the process runs smoothly.

The team at Licensing Guys do not give up easily and they never waste anyone’s time or money. Nick is one of the most successful licensing consultants I know.

If anyone is having difficulties obtaining a licence, I would highly recommend getting in touch with Licensing Guys without a shadow of doubt.

Amazing Team – 3rd 24-Hour Licence Made Easy!

We’ve been with this team for over 2 years, and they’ve now helped us secure our third 24-hour licence, most recently for Grange Lane Convenience Store.

A big thanks to Nick, who was incredibly helpful and supportive throughout. Because of them, the whole process was completely stress-free, just like it’s been every time.

Their experience and professionalism really show. We’re proud to be their client and wouldn’t go anywhere else for our licensing needs. Highly recommended!

Amazing customer service.

Nick called me just out of hours on a Friday and I received my lost licence number the next day. Got a follow up call from him Monday to make sure I got what I needed. Excellent service!

They were able to help me on a friday afternoon when most places were shut. They were able to inform me that personal licenses are still valid anywhere in the UK apart from Scotland after 10 years.
Saved me £100 or so in panic training fees.

An absolute pleasure to assist! We get a lot of calls on a Friday afternoon when Council Licensing Departments are hard to reach on the phone. Never us, though!

Fantastic and faultless!

Reba and the team were absolutely fantastic in getting our license extended. Reba was there every step of the way and reassuring me that we’d get the license. It went to a hearing but the support the licensing guys gave was fantastic and we managed to get the license.
All the paperwork with the license came quick in the post and they dealt with the council fantastic.
Brilliant work guys! Would definitely use you again!

I am thrilled to share my experience…

I am thrilled to share my experience with Reba Danson and the Licensing Guys team, who have been exceptional throughout our journey. After facing rejection from the council for our premises license, we sought help from several well-known solicitors, but none were able to achieve the results we needed. Reba, however, managed to do the impossible!

Her expertise and determination resulted in us obtaining our license, something we initially thought was unattainable. We are truly amazed by her dedication and professionalism throughout the process.

One aspect that stood out was her excellent communication. Reba kept us informed every step of the way, ensuring we felt supported and understood. Her commitment to providing outstanding customer service made a significant difference in our experience.

Special thanks to Reba and the Licensing Guys team for their hard work and support. If anyone is struggling to get a premises license, I highly recommend reaching out to Reba. She truly makes a difference!

We can only thank Nick massively for all his help and determination obtaining our licence for 24h.

We fought against 350 representation and objections from local councillors and residents. Nick was a star, he vouched for us and our business, he trusted us and made a great case for us.

Thank you, Nick!

For anyone that needs help with their premises licence, Nick is your guy! Best in UK, I would say!!

I recently had the pleasure of working with The Licensing Guy, and I cannot recommend them highly enough! From start to finish, they guided me through every step of the process with exceptional professionalism and expertise. Unlike many companies that often charge exorbitantly if your application goes to a hearing, The Licensing Guy offers transparent pricing that is refreshingly fair.

If you are in need of a premise license, look no further—this is the best company for the job. A special shoutout to Reba and Nick for their outstanding support and dedication. Thank you both for making this experience smooth and stress-free!
