Client Feedback - Poppleston Allen provide a quality legal service for our business

"Poppleston Allen form a key part of the training and operational side of my business. From their legal column in BII BUSINESS, their eNews updates and the Licensed Trade Guide, which is a great day to day reference point for all our staff, I would highly recommend the services Poppleston Allen provide to any licensee or prospective licensee".

Darran Lingley, BII Licensee of the Year 2011




"Poppleston Allen recently obtained the Operating Licence for Trinity Gaming Consultants Limited, which will allow the business to substantially expand its interests in the UK. I am delighted with the efficient way in which Poppleston Allen handled the application and would continue to engage their services as the business expands."


Glynn Mellor, Director, Trinity Gaming Consultants Limited


"Poppleston Allen provide a quality legal service for our business. They understand our commercial demands and react quickly and effectively to our legal issues."

Darren Breese, Director, and Matt Cole, Business Development Manager, Blueprint Gaming UK Limited


"The team at PA were both professional in their service and effective in terms of getting the job done. What began as a very serious situation where we were facing potential prosecution ended up as a very positive discussion with the licensing authority in terms of developing a better system of work going forward."

Andrew Lewis, Business Development Manager for County Estates Management


"Having had a serious licensing issue, which could have led to prosecution, we employed the services of Poppleston Allen. Our dedicated Team, led by Clare Eames, was concise and to the point in dealing with the matter. Clare took a charmingly aggressive stance and consulted excellent counsel. We were never left in the dark over anything, and everything was spelt out in black in white.

An excellent professional team, we would recommend to anyone - apart from our competitors."

James McNeill, The Arches, London Bridge



"Poppleston Allen have been retained as University of Hertfordshire Students Union licensing solicitors for over ten years, and during that time have provided excellent advice on all licensable activities and areas within our organisation. The Union, in partnership with the University, recently applied for a 24 hour Premise license for the new Forum development. This was supported by Graeme Cushion's team and, after much debate, the licence granted fulfilled the requirements of both partners. A job well done!"

Max Ross, University of Hertfordshire Students Union


"Bourne Leisure have operated in partnership with Poppleston Allen for just under 10 years. Throughout this time, I have had absolute confidence that our regulatory compliance is in the safest possible hands. In turn this has allowed our Management Teams to concentrate on growing our business rather than worrying about statutory duties and responsibilities"

Mark Harper, Operations Director, Bourne Leisure.


"Leeds University Union started working with Poppleston Allen in the summer of 2007. We had a number of issues we wished to resolve with our licences and felt that we needed to employ a specialist to guide us through this process. Throughout our time working with PA we have found them to be completely professional and they have helped us achieve all of our objectives with our licenses. I would thoroughly recommend them to anyone."

Steve Keeble, Venues Manager, Leeds University Union


"Poppleston Allen delivers an excellent legal service for our business. They understand the commercial demands of our business and adopt a proactive approach to all our licensing requirements."

Judith Archibold, Legal Director, Parkdean Holidays Limited

"The Operating Licence obtained by Poppleston Allen has allowed us to expand our business and the range of gaming equipment we provide to our customers. Poppleston Allen gave relevant advice and obtained our Operating Licence without any fuss".

Nassir Ghanchi, Chief Executive, Funhouse Leisure Limited

"After our experience with the Gambling Commission we knew our application for an operating licence would be difficult. Poppleston Allen prepared and submitted our application and represented us before the Panel, I am happy to say we are now fully licensed and legally supplying gaming machines"

Simon Carr, Owner and Director of Coinfactory Limited
