TESTIMONIAL
I have had the pleasure of drawing on the professional services provided by Justin over the past 12+ years.
Over the past 12 months Justin was engaged by Geebung RSL to assist with food, beverage & gaming licensing variations and compliance approvals pertaining to a $2.8M renovation program which. Justin has such a strong understanding of the council, state government and regulatory environment in Queensland and other states and territories.
Justin took the distraction and complexities of dealing with ‘red tape’ away from the Club and Management Team allowing us to get on with running the business and overseeing the recent renovations.
Justin has a genuine passion for the club, gaming and hospitality industry which stems from his strong hospitality operations background and strong relationships built over many years,
