Take a very deep breath. Having a licence revoked is serious as the Police have taken the view that for whatever reason you are no longer a fit and proper person to hold or have access to firearms.
Revocations happen for all sorts of reasons from illness, domestic or personal challenges, through to you are suspected of, being prosecuted for or been convicted of criminal offences.
Take a good read of the Home Office Guidance on Firearms licencing in particular the sections on suitability to hold firearms and take an honest review of your situation.
If you have been or likely to be convicted of a criminal offence, forget about owning or using firearms again.
If its illness, drink problems etc, get help, get treated and get better. Once you are better and have the doctors support reapply.
If its a domestic issue, get it to a satisfactory situation and reapply.
In many cases, problems can be solved by time, and a length of time with a record of no issues.
And if you are a member of a shooting organisation, get their advice. If you can find a good lawyer who understands Firearms law then that may be a route to go. But be realistic as to your chances, and most good lawyers will advise accordingly and not take on hopeless cases.

Try your shooting organisation first ( BASC / etc ) and if you fail consult, at your cost, a solicitor.
as above speak to any shooting organisation that you belong to. if not then get legal advice.... BASC would probably advise you of a solicitor with knowledge of gun legislation.
I believe that If you have a notice of revocation, you have 21 days in which to put your guns somewhere legal and safe. If the FEO is a civilian, they do not have a power to seize, that requires a Police Officer and in some situations a search warrant. If the civilian FEO has taken without you giving permission for them to do so then seek legal advice as that could be a criminal matter in itself!

The real key question ... which I would bet we will never be told!
were they not the preferred Solicitors for BASC, and didn't one of their lot Peter Glenester become The Chairman for the same!. The only dealings I had with them regarding a client they were not interested in helping. But the starting point must be does this chap Neeeeed a Solicitor, or can the matter be resolved without incurring expense, incidentally my advice is always free in any event!!

Yes, Lachlan Nesbit has been an advisor to BASC for some years and from all accounts, is a good egg.
No offence intended, but it might help, Patrick, to clarify on your standing and qualifications to provide that advice. Several of us on this site are duly qualified with some of us having firearms law experience, perhaps we count you in that number?
Realistically, I imagine our unfortunate foxman has decided to either give in or has engaged professional support. A post on this type of group is normally something of a cry for help when you don't know where to go.
My personal approach (on and offline) is only ever to provide general advice and the recommendation to formally instruct a sufficiently qualified professional. These problems are normally full of rabbit holes and one seldom gets the full story. When people have to put their hand in their pocket, they generally think more carefully about the situation and, if they commit to an appeal, are more forthcoming of all the facts.
