Anyone who needs to authorise alcohol sales requires a Personal Licence.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The more likely person within the team to hold a personal licence is the bar or club manager. With an average salary between \u00a318,587<\/strong> – \u00a344,544<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They will act as the personal licence holder and can act as the designated premises supervisor for any business that sells or supplies alcohol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But even if you do not hold a personal licence yourself personally, you will still greatly benefit from the licence holder having a personal licence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Legally, you are not allowed to sell alcohol unless the personal licence holder is in the premises. This basically means that without the personal licence holder you won\u2019t have a job. Which isn\u2019t great for the team of bar staff who work behind the bar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A bartender can earn an average wage of \u00a37.15<\/strong> per hour averaging to a total of \u00a320,170<\/strong> per year. A more senior member can look set to double that figure with \u00a39.15<\/strong>, but of course this depends on the venue and the employer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But it isn\u2019t just the initial bar staff that the personal licence effects. Without a personal licence holder, there would be no need for a security team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

G4S, the world\u2019s leading global security company that provides job opportunities for 1000\u2019s of Security Guards in the UK currently offers \u00a38.07<\/strong> per hour for their contracted staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That would equal to \u00a317,212 <\/strong>per year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Bartender<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A licenced Door Supervisor<\/a><\/span> on the other hand can earn on average \u00a326,112<\/strong> per year, a figure that has also increased by \u00a34,143<\/strong> since 2013.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As of 1 April 2015, there is no requirement to renew personal licences. As a result, the expiry date on any issued licence is no longer relevant. This is a great advantage as there is no need to pay for additional retraining or renewal of a licence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, this is a one payment solution that will benefit you financially in the long term and requires no further financial investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remember, a personal licence is needed by anyone intending to supervise the sale of alcohol in any premises, including pubs, off licences, restaurants and hotels but not including private members clubs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Without a personal licence there is no business. And without a working business, staff do not get paid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
