LONDON KEYNOTE SPEAKERS AGENCY OPENS WITH HIGH-PROFILE TALENT AND BLUE-CHIP CLIENTS

A new speakers’ agency has launched in London with ambitions to become a central hub for organisations seeking world-class keynote speakers and premium live entertainment as demand for high-impact events accelerates across the UK.

The London Keynote Speakers Agency enters the market as businesses compete for memorable, content-rich events that resonate with employees, clients, and stakeholders. Backed by more than five decades of collective industry experience, the founders say the agency will offer a curated gateway to leading voices in business, sport, technology, culture and global affairs — from artificial intelligence and sustainability to mental health, cyber security and diversity and inclusion.

Roxy Farthing, Founder and Director of the London Keynote Speakers Agency, said the launch reflects a clear gap in the market for a London-based agency capable of delivering premium talent and full-service event support. “We’re incredibly proud to launch what we believe is the best agency of its kind in the capital,” she said. “Our mission is to connect clients with world-class speakers and the very best in live entertainment, creating moments that inspire and stay with audiences long after the event ends. With our experienced team and global network, we can secure outstanding talent across every field making each event unforgettable.”

The agency’s arrival comes at a time when corporate and consumer appetite for high-calibre speakers continues to grow. The company’s own research indicates that 96 per cent of clients believe a keynote speaker significantly enhances the value of an event — a trend the agency estimates contributed nearly £1 billion to the London economy last year alone.

Even at launch, the agency has already secured bookings for prominent figures including Ant Middleton, Sarina Wiegman, Ade Adepitan, Sir Richard Branson, Ruby Wax and Kamal Ahmed. Its early client list includes major global brands such as Google, Hugo Boss, BP, ITV and Apple.

The London Keynote Speakers Agency will also offer comprehensive event management services, positioning itself as a single point of contact for conferences, corporate summits, awards evenings, and private engagements. “From corporate conferences and awards ceremonies to private celebrations, the London Keynote Speakers Agency provides end-to-end event management, ensuring seamless delivery and outstanding impact every time,” Farthing added.

Market conditions appear favourable. The UK events industry is now valued at £61.65 billion, driven by a resurgence in in-person gatherings and a growing recognition of the commercial benefits of high-quality speakers and live performers. As organisations look to enhance brand visibility, strengthen culture and drive engagement, the agency expects demand to increase further.

Each client is paired with a dedicated booking agent who assesses event goals, audience demographics and desired outcomes. Recommendations can include keynote speakers, event hosts, comedians or live entertainers — a personalised process the company says is central to producing events capable of driving real impact.

The business aims to establish itself as a trusted adviser to corporates, public bodies, charities and private clients, positioning London as a global centre for premium speaker talent.
