Testimonials & Case Studies

"Absolutely delighted with the help given by Andy Newman Consultancy Ltd with our Licensing Application. Andy gave and continues to give extremely sound professional advice. He helped us overcome License Representations from Redbridge Licensing Authorities.  He then successfully represented us at a Redbridge Licensing Hearing overcoming objections from some residents who had another experienced Licensing Consultant to help them. This result has definitely helped my business.  Andy has great experience and great contacts. Pleasure to work with. Would highly recommend Andy Newman Consultancy Ltd to anyone who needs Licensing help and guidance."

 "Andy is an excellent licensing consultant. With years of experience as a licensing Sergeant and then Inspector in the Met Police he is perfectly placed to assist trade operators with their licensing needs. He is highly effective in liaising with the authorities and advising applicants in relation to their licence applications, duties and obligations." 

 “I would thoroughly recommend Andy Newman for any licensing matters. He is vastly experienced and knowledgeable in regards to all licensing issues within London. He is friendly, professional and prepared to go the extra mile, he’s also extremely competitive price-wise. Over his number of years service within police, licensing and as a consultant he has built up a very useful list of contacts which can help aid any situation. He dealt with my licensing issues from initial consultation to application to hearing in a throughly professional and ultimately successful manner. Very happy to give him my stamp of approval.” 

 "Andy Newman was a highly respected and effective Police Licensing Inspector in the London Borough of Hackney. He now brings his experience and expertise into the private arena assisting licensed premises to maximise their commercial potential without unduly impacting on their communities. I have no doubt he will prove to be an asset to those who employ his services." 

"We engaged Andy to help us secure our premises licence for the bar and events space at The Silver Building. Without him, we simply wouldn't have got the positive outcome we ended up with. We were really up against it in terms of timings and Andy managed to turn things round extremely quickly. He was diligent, assiduous, and most importantly, extremely effective. Andy was able to put forward cogent arguments to decision makers to help them understand our position. There was a lot of opposition to our initial licence application. It was crucial we got a strong licence, not just for the tenants in the building but the wider local community. Andy played a key role in turning things around."

"Andy was asked by me to support a client in a complex application in the worst circumstances. A new event on a new site with a new team and against a background of multiple objections form Police, Council and residents. In a highly compressed timeframe, he was able to persuade both Police and Council to withdraw objections and, despite some very strong remaining resident objections, fight a case that concluded with the granting of a license for the event.  It is fair to say that even the applicant thought the chances of success were slim and the granting of the license was as a direct result of extensive and in depth work completed during the Christmas and New Year period by Andy."
