“Over the last 10 years, Liam has provided the various venues and businesses I have been involved with with excellent advice and guidance on premises licensing and venue operations. I consider Liam the first port of call with regards to premises licensing in London and would always recommend him to clients and partners. His experience running venues and large operations is demonstrated through meticulously planning and strategy.”

— Jett Glozier, Head of UK - Sound Diplomacy

“Liam has been expertly guiding our business through various licensing and stakeholder engagement workstreams for a number years. Calm, strategic and able to work to some incredibly tough timelines - he's given confidence in an industry, large events, that is often uncertain. This was especially key during the pandemic and with the shifting sands of licensing conditions and broader stakeholder interest.”

— Greg Wells, Founder - We Are Beer, Craft Beer Festivals

“I worked with Liam for ten years and it was an exceptional experience that has meant I have gone on to seek opportunities with him since whenever possible… I highly recommend him for his savvy on most things. He is also super loyal and hard working – qualities that are very hard to truly come by.”

—Zoe Paskin, Managing Director - The Palomar, The Barbary, The Blue Posts, The End & AKA

“I have worked with Liam for nearly 30 years. He was the General Manger of “The End” of the whole 13 years of the project and was as integral as the DJ booth in the centre of the room. He became a leading member of BEDA, worked with the Council and Police to ensure good professional relations but was also always on point with artists and promoters, he has a huge versatility in his armoury.

We then put on a series of warehouse parties after the closing called “Shake It” – he took control of everything form the licensing for the event to the running on the night.

And whilst our paths then diverged, he was the first call when we opened The Blue Posts in 2017 to run the project. I recommend Liam on every level but mostly for his deep integrity.”

— Layo Paskin, Creative Director - The Palomar, The Barbary, The Blue Posts, The End & AKA,

“Liam is the go to guru for our licensing requirements at The Racketeer and Long Lane Bar. His knowledge and expertise within the hospitality sector is second to none, having worked on the coal face for a number of London's most prolific venues.”

— Ty Vigrass, Founder - The Racketeer, Long Lane Bar

“It has been a great pleasure to work with Liam on a number of licensing and planning projects over the years and also on the international Purple Flag scheme for better town centres at night. Liam is outstanding at understanding the politics of a situation, navigating competing stakeholder demands, focusing on the bigger picture and getting the client's end result, whilst never letting go of the details. Without Liam’s support and leadership, many licences and night-time businesses would simply wouldn’t exist today.”

— Alistair Turnham, Founder - MAKE Associates

“For the past decade I have worked with Liam on many leisure and hospitality projects. He is an accomplished specialist with a refreshingly hands-on approach. His extensive experience as an operator allows him to speak with authority about real-world issues, to provide insightful mentoring and employee training programmes, and to confidently represent his clients when dealing with local government officers. He has championed industry best-practice through schemes like Purple Flag, and regularly provides his valuable input to industry trade bodies. When things do go wrong, which sometimes they do, his ability to rapidly troubleshoot, to educate, and to improve the operation of a premises, is second to none.”

— Richard Vivian, Director - Big Sky Acoustics

“Liam is a delight to work with. He expertly draws upon a breadth of experience that is second to none. Liam understands 'bigger picture' strategies, ranging from high level project planning to stakeholder engagement. He is professional, diligent, always responsive and an all-round good guy. It has been a pleasure delivering a number of successful projects with Liam over the last few years, including an unprecedented grant of 50 new premises licences in a central London cumulative impact zone despite 100+ objections.

— Jack Spiegler, Partner - Thomas & Thomas

Over the past 10 years Liam has been my licensing guardian angel.Together we have beaten the odds and made the impossible possible more times than I can remember. Liams' quick thinking, breadth of industry knowledge and extensive contacts coupled with his problem solving ability and lateral thinking have got us through a number of sticky situations.
