Four Countes Licensing Services Ltd
Testimonials


What people say about us:

" I represented a client at a hearing at which the premises licence was reviewed following an application by the police. 4cls prepared a report which was disclosed to the Committee on the training of staff and other operational procedures as well as recommending some alterations. The Premises were allowed to continue trading without additional restrictions subject to complying with 4cls recommendations. I have no doubt that without the report the Premises would have been closed down for a period of time."
Andrew Woods, Partner Walker Morris Solicitors.

“Kevin is a valued source of knowledge and advice, having a wealth of Licensing and due diligence experience. Kevin has an ability to translate Licensing Law in to an operational environment, making it understandable and user friendly to management teams whilst providing all the necessary legal and legislative information to the Licensing Authority and Police. Kevin is an excellent advocate for retailers, his knowledge and professionalism is recognised nationally by numerous local councils and police authorities, which is extremely useful and smoothes the path of many negotiations.

Kevin has recently provided us with underage training, which has now been endorsed by several police authorities and provided us the cornerstone of our Licensing due diligence”.
Helen Audsley, Head of Licensing Orchid Pub Company

Kevin is an extremely knowledgeable and personable individual with a tremendous understanding of the industry and the Licensing Acts. During his many years at Spirit he safeguarded our Licensing interests and has an ability to resolve situations before they become an issue.   Since establishing 4cls Kevin has continued to work with the Spirit Group on various projects as a consultant and we have also used him successfully as an expert witness on several occasions. I envisage our relationship with 4cls will continue and I can recommend Kevin to all”

"Kevin Bradley's practical and proactive style has been invaluable in resolving licensing issues on the various pub M & A and financing transactions we have worked together on, both before, during and after the major reforms. His many years in the industry mean that there is rarely a problem that he hasn't come across before and found a way of addressing swiftly and generally painlessly from the transactional lawyer's perspective. He knows exactly who to talk to and just gets on and sorts things out. I can commend him to practitioners in this area."
