Recognising those that have made a outstanding contribution as part of their role in licensing is a fitting tribute to Jeremy, who, throughout his career was an inspiration for so many people”.Jon Collins, Acting Chairman of the IOL said: “We bid farewell this year to Jeremy Allen, all too soon and deeply sadly. Jeremy was a great friend and one of the leading thinkers on licensing matters. As a founding partner of Poppleston Allen, Jeremy aspired to and delivered excellence in licensing. I am therefore delighted that the Institute has been able to partner with Poppleston Allen to honour Jeremy’s memory with the creation of this Award. “
