Phil Andrews

Finance Director

info@instituteoflicensing.org

After a career in the police service I joined North Hertfordshire Council dealing with street scene and taxis/private hire. I then became Licensing and Enforcement Manager becoming responsible for large scale open air events at Knebworth House including Ministry of Sound and Robbie Williams among others. I was also a member of the emergency planning team there and we had severe local flooding at Kimpton to deal with. I then moved to Hertsmere Borough Council where I was Principal Licensing Officer for 7 years overseeing the introduction of the Licensing Act and the Gambling Act, preparing policies and procedures for both, preparing reports and dealing with numerous hearings before a licensing sub-committee. Not to forget the taxi and Private Hire trade policies etc as well as all other licensing issues including motor vehicle salvage for which at one point we had a large number of scrap yards shut down for 2 days while search warrants were executed. I became a local government cost saving in 2012 and since that time have been working as an independent consultant in Licensing and working on some television productions. I first got involved with what was then the Local Government Licensing Forum attending a conference held in Swansea, and shortly after agreed to become conference treasurer. There was not a lot of money in the bank when I started but I also carried out a review of the LGLF finances and by the time we became the Institute of Licensing I was able to hand over a solid financial base to build the IoL upon. I have been a board member for quite some time now and at present am the Financial Director of the Institute. I am also treasurer of the Home Counties region.
