Waste of time and money
Horrible experience with this company I should of read the reviews before I paid in full. Stewart will demand your money asap then you’ll never see him again all you’ll get is a silly booklet witch he says helps when it honestly doesn’t.
Trust me, for his high price of £380 and promise of a guaranteed pass. It’s all a lies go els where there allot cheeper and will actually assist you when you need it step by step.
SG is a joke!!!

Beware,Don't believe everything about Sglicensing
Beware, I have worked with him in the past ,and he acts professional and you will think he is since he belittles you, he only accepts cases which are 100% case to be won and doesn't accept any hard cases .No wonder your saying we garrantee 100%. I had done my license with him a year ago and probably too late late to write a review now but better than never. There's too many scams happening now days be safe guys!
I will say something positive though ,apart for his high rates ,he's helpful if your application doesnt go through and you go to legal troubles which is rare ,but atleast his rates cover that much ,oh wait they don't you have to pay extra for that .I know it was something positive but..... honestly is brutal
Finally, All I would say is if u want someone to act professional for stuff even yourself can do , go with him.And if you have legal issues then find some local licencing agency who knows what they are doing and you know where to find them.
I doubt this review will remain since I saw the previous bad review being threatened by legal action .

Extremely impressive service - highly recommend.
Stewart was absolutely fantastic and we couldn't have asked for a better, more experienced and more professional planning agent. We have already recommended Stewart's services to other local businesses and wouldn't hesitate to use him again in future.
No Response
Sent an online enquiry and also left a voicemail, haven't heard back for a while - Probably a true reflection of how new customers are treated.
............. In response to our message Mr SG, your emails went to spam because you personally didn't email me, you used a marketing tool to email me and as a result, your emails went to spam I realised this today.
You have my personal mobile number why have you still not called? I checked my call records and your team rang me on a withheld number, the call may have failed and there was no second attempt or an email from a genuine person to say that there was an attempt.
The only email I have received from you is about legal action, this is the only genuine email I received. Your other emails were automated and my email system picked them up as spam and blocked them. Instead of ringing me personally to address my review you instead decided to threaten me with legal action - What kind of Customer Service is this? You assume I am trying to tarnish your businesses with multiple posts but that was me editing the post due to typos. Any sane business owner would have called me personally in order to find ways to turn that negative review into a positive one.
I had no intention of trying to seek free advice, I recently got my Personal License and was ready for the next step, I thought your business would help but clearly threats of a lawsuit is much higher on your priority list.
Get your facts right before sending threats, you have my number. If you would like this post removed, call me.

We have known Stewart for 20+ years
We have known Stewart for 20+ years and he has always looked after us at the highest level. The one thing we feel good about is that he is on the end of the phone at any time to give help and information. All of our local council inspectors have been very impressed by his input to our business. Absolute peace of mind. Charles and Linda Isle of Wight

Very professional and reasonably priced
Stewart Gibson has help me achieve licenses on two premises and on both occasions he acted professionally and achieved even more than was initially expected by me. Stewart has an exceptional knowledge of licensing rules and there is nobody I would sooner have represent me in a licensing hearing. Would totally recommend.
Worst company I ever dealt with
Please be careful of this one man company The person called Mr Stewart Gibson soon as he took the payment you won’t see the person.
That’s exactly happened to me after several emails & calls luckily I got back some of the payment.
Don’t be fool
Please use other professional companies for any Licensing matters.
