Personal Licence
Under the Licencing Act 2003, every premises licensed to sell alcohol must have a DPS (designated premises supervisor) named on the premises licence. A DPS must hold a personal licence and they will be responsible, along with the premises licence holder, for authorising the sale of alcohol at the premises.
