VINCENT C. REX I started my professional career in the District Valuer & Valuation Office in Oxford District 1 in 1964. At that time I was dealing with general valuations of all types of property including residential and commercial for rating, taxation and acquisition purposes involving considerable work with the Oxford Colleges, Pressed Steel and Cowley Works. In 1965 I passed my final examination of the Chartered Auctioneers and Estate Agents Institution, being one of the very few principal prize winners and in 1967 qualified as an Associate of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors My initial involvement with licensed and leisure property commenced in 1968 as a Junior Partner of Cookseys, Reading, being made a full partner in 1973. My wide breadth of experience involved the undertaking of freehold and leasehold valuations which also included commercial and residential property, together with rating revaluation. My expertise in licensed and leisure property was not confined to the Thames Valley, but spanned all of southern England and the Midlands, dealing with public houses, clubs, hotels, guest houses, casinos and restaurants. As a result of my ever broadening technical experience, I was appointed an external examiner in Applied Valuations in the Faculty of Urban & Rural Studies at Reading University between 1980 and 1985 directly involved with the B.Sc. Honours Degree Course in Estate Management. I was made a Member of the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators in 1985 and in 1997 elected by invitation as a practising Member of the Academy of Experts. I am also an Expert and Arbitrator in the Law Society’s accredited list for licensed premises. In 2003 I was appointed as an Expert by the President of the Lands Tribunal to settle disputes where statute directs that the settlement arrangements should be made by an independent qualified Chartered Surveyor Currently the scope of my work, although centered upon Reading involves all of southern and central England with specific emphasis on central London. I undertake valuation appraisals, rent reviews and expert evidence in respect of all aspects of licensed and leisure property and as a result of the merger between DMP Chartered Surveyors and Cookseys, am now Chairman of Cookseys DMP effective from 1st August 2005 I have had direct involvement in approximately 100 High Court, County Court, Lands Tribunal determinations and arbitration cases in my professional career. I have been the subject of detailed cross examination approximately 25 times and have often been praised by Judges for the clarity and accuracy of my evidence. I was for many years elected on the panel of Chartered Surveyors for Arbitration and Expert appointments by the President of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors. I stood down from that panel only recently as a direct result of the extensive nature of my court involvement as Expert Evidence.

DAVID CHARLES HENRY MORGAN ProfessionalI am 56 years of age and was elected a Professional Associate of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors in 1973 and a Fellow in 1983 [Membership No. 46594]. I was elected as a Member of the Restaurant Property Advisors Society in January, 1995 and acted as Chairman in 1999/2000. I was elected as a Practising Member of the Academy of Experts in April, 1998 [Membership No. 1969] and am registered as an Expert Witness under the R.I.C.S. Expert Witness Registration Scheme. I am a Member of the Expert Witness Institute [membership no. 1321]. My initial involvement with licensed property was as a Divisional Estates Manager for Courage (Western) Limited from 1975 which included South West England and South and West Wales. From 1980 to 1985 I was a partner of Stanley Alder & Price, Surveyors and Valuers in charge of the licensed property department. In July, 1985 I established a firm of licensed property consultants which was until recently known as DMP Chartered Surveyors. That Firm merged with Cookseys Chartered Surveyors of Reading in August 2005 and now trades as ‘Cookseys DMP’. The Company acts nation-wide through its four offices. It was the first specialist firm dealing with licensed and entertainment property to achieve Quality Assurance [ISO 9001:2000] on 17th June, 1993. Cookseys DMP Chartered Surveyors act for nationally based Banks, Building Societies, Brewery Companies and lending institutions in the provision of Valuations, Reports and Business Appraisals, whose issuance I personally oversee. In 1988 I was nominated to the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors’ panel of specialist arbitrators dealing with licensed property throughout Wales, West Central and Southern England. Between 1988 and 1994 I conducted Arbitrations on 57 such properties and have been involved as an Independent Expert on 54 such properties, all on a national basis in diverse locations. I am still actively involved in all aspects of Arbitration and Independent Expert referral for both Claimants and Respondents I have also appeared in numerous Courts and official Tribunals nation-wide, acting as Expert Evidence in respect of rent review disputes, assessment of issues of capital value, both corporate and personal, planning related matters specifically in respect of viability and change of use, structural repair and actions of alleged negligence against other professionals linked with licensed and leisure property My involvement in all aspects of licensed and leisure property is through direct contact on site, which is as a result of instructions received through either our own offices in Thornbury, near Bristol, Reading and Cardiff, or our [now associated] office in London. I am thus very familiar with public houses, restaurants, hotels, night clubs, golf courses, racecourses, caravan parks and holiday establishments, amusement arcades and licensed property in general on a nation-wide basis Practical Licensed Property InvolvementI owned the freehold interest of 85 Whiteladies Road, Bristol from 1987 and initially undertook the alteration works for the formulation of Rocinantes Restaurant and Café Bar. I had direct operational control of the premises between 1987 and 1993 with a turnover of c.£390,000 ex V.A.T. In 1993 I relinquished operational control to the then senior staff from whom I received rent until August 1999 when the Freehold interest was sold. From March, 1996 until February, 1997, although I was in full time employment as a Chartered Surveyor specialising in licensed property, I assisted my partner in the management and day-to-day operations of the Crown Hotel, Public House and Restaurant, at Frampton Mansell near Cirencester, Gloucestershire. The premises had a 50 seat restaurant, 3 bars, 12 letting bedrooms and an annual turnover of c.£300,000. From October, 1997 until August 1999, I lived at the Stirrup Cup Public House, Bisley, Near Stroud, Gloucestershire where I assisted in the operational management of every aspect of the premises including function room for 160 people, 32 cover restaurant and 3 large bars. The premises were sold at a profit, but only as a consequence of my partner’s serious ill-health. I thus have direct practical experience of the operation of bars, restaurants and letting bedrooms.
