Welcome to our ‘Friends of GRS’ occasional series…the one where we spread the word about some of the great organisations and businesses we’ve partnered up with over the years. Today we’re shining the spotlight on Nick Arron, partner at licensing law firm Poppleston Allen.
Our co-founder Paul Sculpher shares his thoughts on why Nick is such a great part of the wider GRS network:
“At GRS we’re often involved in helping companies build their teams for new projects, and in betting and gaming, new projects mean licensing headaches. Nick Arron is partner in Poppleston Allen, a firm which specialises in licensing law, and supports operators across the spectrum of gambling operators (and beyond into other hospitality businesses).
I met Nick a terrifyingly long time ago, back when Scarborough was named as one of the successful towns to be awarded a 2005 Gambling Act Small licence, and we’ve stayed in touch ever since. He has to be one of the nicest guys in the business – and I mean the gaming business, not just the licensing lawyer biz – and over the years we’ve sent each other countless contacts for projects, some of which have turned into live operations that you’d all be familiar with.
With my other hat on as a casino consultant, I’ve worked alongside Nick too on a number of projects, and am constantly impressed not just by his knowledge, but his ability to build relationships with everyone he works with. If you need licensing advice, there are plenty of options out there – plenty of great options – with Nick being as good as it gets. Find him, with his super cheesy profile pic, at www.popall.co.uk.”
We would like to take this opportunity to thank Nick for his support and wisdom across various projects we've worked on together, and we look forward to working with him for many more years to come.
