Training is Important for Licensed Premises

Effective and documented training is the corner-stone of any due diligence defence when a Premises Licence Holder or Designated Premises Supervisor faces prosecution in relation to unauthorised licensable activities or other licensing associated infringements.

We deliver training which helps clients meet their statutory requirements under the Licensing Act 2003, but which also deliver practical solutions to help businesses run more effectively.

We help our successful clients set up their work-systems which ensure that regulatory requirements and statutory obligations are met proactively. This allows employees to concentrate on selling the services on offer and to deliver the excellence in customer service their customers expect.
