Licensing

August 19, 2026

We worked with Jo to make changes to our premises licence, and I genuinely couldn’t recommend them more highly! Jo was always available to answer any questions we had and made what could have been a complicated process feel incredibly straightforward. They handled everything for us, kept us updated throughout, and made the whole licence change completely stress-free. We felt in very safe hands from start to finish and wouldn’t hesitate to work with Jo again.

Their advice on approach, what can be pushed back on and what can be overcome is invaluable, we cannot them recommend highly enough.
