A statement on the Clifton Davies website read: “It is with a twinge of sadness, many thanks to clients old and new for their loyalty, friendship and support, and a large degree of optimism for all that lies ahead (as well as great appreciation to each other for all that has been achieved in our last 25 years of working together) that David Clifton and Suzanne Davies announce the closure of Clifton Davies Consultancy Limited with effect from 30 September 2022.”

“David and Suzanne join together in wishing all of their clients and friends in the hospitality, leisure and gambling industries every success in the future and, through their future respective endeavours, they anticipate remaining in contact with a good many of you in the future.”

In a separate update, David Clifton confirmed that he would continue to be engaged with the gambling sector, writing his ‘Licensing Expert’ deep dive features on the sector’s legal and compliance affairs.

At present, Clifton is currently considering approaches that have been made by both industry and charity sources.
