A brilliant evening to celebrate National Licensing Week!

On Friday evening, BIBF member Walaiti Rathore, founder of Licensing Law Consultancy, hosted a spectacular black tie event at the Crowne Plaza, Nottingham, bringing together representatives from across the hospitality sector and beyond.

The evening shone a spotlight on the critical role licensing plays across every walk of life; from hospitality and entertainment to business, community, and culture.

It was wonderful to see several BIBF members in attendance, adding to the spirit of connection and community that defines our network.

A heartfelt congratulations to Walati on an outstanding evening; a true reflection of the passion and professionalism he brings to the licensing world.
