Poppleston Allen is pleased to announce that, for the 15th year, the Jeremy Allen Award is now open for nominations, in partnership with the Institute of Licensing.
The Jeremy Allen Award was established in 2011 as an ongoing tribute to Jeremy Allen, solicitor and founding member of Poppleston Allen. The award honours his life and achievements, seeking to recognise and reward exceptional practitioners in the licensing field.
Nominations:
The nomination period for the 2026 awards runs from 8th June to 1st September 2026.
To ensure the award accurately reflects the licensing sector, nominations must be submitted by third parties only. Anyone working in the licensing and related field can nominate a deserving individual.
Being nominated is a tribute in itself, as it reflects the recognition and respect of colleagues for the nominee’s professionalism and achievements.
The finalists will be invited to join us at the Institute of Licensing’s Annual Gala Dinner, which is held during the National Training Conference in November. The winner will be announced during the Awards Presentation that evening.
Know someone deserving? Please contact info@instituteoflicensing.org and confirm that the nominee is aware and happy to be put forward.
