About the Award

The award is a tribute to the life and professional career of Jeremy Allen, founding partner of Poppleston Allen, whose dedication to partnership working and best practice in licensing made him one of the most respected and popular figures in the industry. Jeremy sadly passed away shortly after becoming Chair of the Institute of Licensing.

This prestigious award is open to anyone working in licensing and related fields and seeks to recognise and award exceptional practitioners.  Crucially, entry to the award is by third party nomination, which in itself is a tribute to the nominee in that they have been put forward by colleagues in recognition and out of respect to their professionalism and achievements.

Institute of Licensing Vice Chairman John Garforth JP said:

'Licensing practitioners play a pivotal role in raising the profile of what we do and best practice and should be acknowledged and rewarded. The Jeremy Allen Award is the ideal opportunity to acknowledge those who have gone above and beyond, played a key role in successful initiatives or have played a key national role in achieving success and accolades in licensing.

'We encourage you to think about those you know who could be put forward for this award and look forward to sifting through some excellent submissions.'
