Harrison Drury’s licensing team helped me defend an application for review that sought to revoke my premises licence, and I will be eternally grateful for their assistance.  Thanks to their representation, within the space of twelve months I have gone from facing closure and losing my business to trading well at my first site and looking to take on a second one.  I wouldn’t be in this position without them.

A very friendly and helpful team who go the extra mile to provide a very unique and quality service. We have worked with Harrison Drury on many complex licensing cases and they come with amazing advice and well-thought-out action plans to help with our needs.

All of the team appear excellent in this field but, in particular, Malcolm Ireland is the go-to person for specific advice or information. Openness to resolve issues by differing methods and approaches is recognised and appreciated.

I have had the pleasure of working with Malcolm and his team on a couple of premises licences over the past few years. I’m very happy with their work and their approach and I would highly recommend them.

My personal experience of Harrison Drury & Co relates to licensing matters under the Licensing Act 2003. What I can say with absolute certainty is that Malcolm Ireland, Samantha Faud, and the rest of the team are exceptionally knowledgeable in this field. I firmly feel that they are innovative and prepared, thorough, very conscious of attention to detail, and tireless in their effort for the customer.

After the first phone call with Malcolm to discuss our Premises Licence I knew that Harrison Drury was the right company to advise the hotel on the best route to take. Malcolm used his vast knowledge and expertise in this area to ensure the hotel had every area covered in our application, he went above and beyond and I am grateful that I chose Harrison Drury to handle our application. Thank you Malcolm.

Malcolm Ireland is always meticulous in his instructions and his preparation for cases. He is easy to talk with and great for discussing tactics. He takes a practical and sensible approach to hospitality and licensing cases. I also work with Samantha Faud, of whom I also have the highest regard.

They have a pragmatic approach whilst always being reasonable and proportionate in our discussions. The knowledge and experience the licensing team has is considerable and respected and I regard them as one of the national leads in the licensing law field.

We recently worked with Harrison Drury, under the guidance of Malcolm, to consolidate three licences into one for easier operation of our different licensed areas. From the very start, Malcolm provided invaluable guidance during the early stages of the process, even before we formally instructed the firm. His thorough understanding of our sector and trading style was evident throughout, ensuring every aspect of the application was managed with care and precision. His strong working relationships with the relevant authorities were invaluable, making what could have been a complex process feel seamless. We are delighted with the outcome and would highly recommend Harrison Drury for their professionalism, expertise, and dedication.
