Time rapidly running out for renewals
At the risk of sounding like a broken record, if your personal licence is due to expire on August 31, 2019, you absolutely must lodge a renewal application with your board in the next two weeks .
Make PLH renewal a top priority
I’ll be honest, I didn’t expect vast numbers of personal licence renewals to have been lodged .
Contentious tax should not have been swept through
An apparent disregard of the views of those in the industry – and the use of the tourist tax as some sort of political bargaining chip – has further riled operators and trade groups
Our industry needs greater support not another tax
The number of overseas visitors coming to Scotland at an all-time high, a bumper year for whisky tourism, a record season for cruise ships – 2018 wasn’t short on positive tourism tales
PLH renewal must be new year priority
Like most years before it, 2018 has brought its fair share of challenges for the trade
Stage almost set for the trade night of the year
In just three weeks’ time, we will celebrate the brightest stars in the Scottish trade
Government must deliver for the trade
On paper, there’s a lot to like in the first minister’s programme for government .
PLH fiasco goes from bad to worse
Just when we thought the personal licence renewal debacle couldn’t get any worse .
PLH clarity is finally within sight
FINALLY, the information thousands of personal licence holders have been waiting for is expected to be released in the next couple of weeks.
Ongoing PLH uncertainty is a disgrace
TOWARDS the end of last week, I made SLTN’s latest regular call to check if there had been any movement on the personal licence renewal training requirements.
