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 Executive Officer Sue Nelson said:

'The Jeremy Allen Award is an enduring and respected recognition for licensing practitioners who go the extra mile, making a difference to others or playing a key role in local or national initiatives which exemplify best practice and excellence in licensing.

‘It is a privilege to continue this award in partnership with Poppleston Allen Solicitors, and in doing so enable achievements of individuals to be celebrated’.
