During this time he became actively involved in many initiatives, working in partnership with Nottinghamshire Police Licensing, Mansfield District Council Licensing, Mansfield BID and local licensed venues.
Paul Anderton said “ It’s such an honour to receive the award, my retirement comes at a time when its right to do so, I have thoroughly enjoyed helping licensed premises throughout Mansfield and the various initiatives that its members and I have been involved in”.
He added “I would like to thank everyone for all their support over the years and wish MALV all the best for the future and sure they will go from strength to strength in continuing making Mansfield and the District a safer place to socialise in.”
Paul Horton, Regional Representative for National Pubwatch said “ the award presented to Paul is for his outstanding achievement and contribution to making Mansfield and the District a safer drinking environment to go out in. Over the years Paul has assisted in many initiatives within the late-night economy and has worked with its members in partnership with the Police, Licensing Authority and other organisations and groups.”
