NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF LICENSING AND ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS

NALEO was created in 1985 by 22 local authority licensing and enforcement officers from across the UK.

Collectively identifying the need to promote a better understanding of taxi and private hire licensing matters - and the challenges of working in isolation - membership currently stands at over 600, providing a valuable and powerful voice with which to raise the profile of licensing.

The association has grown to embrace all aspects of licensing as undertaken by local authorities, from street trading, pet shops and motor salvage operators to gambling, tattoo and ear-piercing and sex establishments and cinemas.

NALEO provides a valuable voice for its members through information and training, promotes the role of licensing across many aspects of our lives and is regularly asked by government, statutory, legal and advisory bodies to comment on licensing issues and consultation documents.
