What is Naleo?

Naleo stands for the National Association of Licensing and Enforcement Officers.

It all started in 1985 when 22 council licensing and enforcement officers from all over the country, unhappy with the isolation of local authorities licensing activities, got together at Solihull Council and formed the Association to promote better understanding of taxi and private hire matters, to swap information and to raise the profile of licensing matters in general.

This small 'band' did not realise then that from these beginnings the Association would grow to around 450 individual members, seven regional groups, annual residential training courses plus additional ad hoc courses, 'The Book' and a twice yearly magazine called the "Bulletin".

We have close contacts with government departments, ministers, other trade organisations and are in a position to greatly influence licensing matters in Britain.

We regularly meet Ministers of State and Government officials to discuss current and future plans and to lobby for changes in the archaic law within which we have to work.
