The service from my contact at JLA was at all times professional and efficient and I would not hesitate to recommending JLA to other conference organisers, we would certainly use them again in the future.

Rachel, Thorntons 19 Aug 2011

My contact at JLA was Emily Collier who was a great help in helping us secure Martin Bayfield to speak at our event at late notice. It is the first time I have had to book a celebrity and Emily helped me with every step of the process keeping me updated at regular intervals. I have already recommended JLA to our PR manager for future events.

You did a fantastic job all the way through.

Matt, Institution Of Chemical Engineers 8 Nov 2010

All very good – having worked with a range of agencies this year and in other years, JLA remain the best we have used and our first port of call.

When we had a problem with our original host cancelling, JLA made sure we found a more than adequate substitute.

The brief was met and Patrick was exactly what we were looking for as we had a tough crowd to please.

Production Bureau 22 Jan 2010

First rate support and always sympathetic and patient to an ever-changing and evolving brief.

Katie, IMP Events 6 Nov 2009

Gayle was incredibly professional and attentive and answered all my questions promptly and thoroughly. Because of her I would only think of using JLA as my agency again. She also came down on the night which was really helpful and reassuring.

I was very precise on what we wanted and Gayle was very considered in who she offered and was careful to keep within budget as well which was a major factor for us.

JLA made the whole experience very easy and straightforward which was important as this was our first year hosting awards and of needing a compere.

Anna, World Event Management 12 Oct 2009

I felt Renate had a really good sense of exactly what I was looking for and took time to ensure the right speaker was completely relevant in a short turnaround. All information was received timely. Completely happy with the service from JLA.

All was great

Thanks Lisa for all your help with this. Having JLA supply us with two great, high-profile speakers really helped to ensure our conference was a roaring success.

Louise, Seventeen Events 2 Jul 2009

JLA were helpful and professional throughout. It was great to be able to have a pre-event conversation with John which Ian arranged. All in all, great service.

Capital Dynamics 29 Jun 2009

We really appreciated all your help finding a suitable speaker for our Investor Meeting. We were very impressed by the various options you were able to provide, your prompt responses to enquiries and all the advice you gave. Our guests thoroughly enjoyed Benedict Allen's insights.
Thank you for helping to make our event so successful. It has been a pleasure working with Anke and JLA, and I look forward to doing so again.

Plaza Publishing 26 Jun 2009

Our contacts with JLA were a pleasure to work with! Renate steered us in the right direction when we were unsure who would be best as host for the event this year. She obviously had a really good understanding of who would be right for the audience because Jeremy Vine was perfect!

Sue, Environmental Association For Universities And Colleges 26 Jun 2009

JLA were very good. Very prompt in all the dealings we had with them, thorough information and responded to my initial brief with a good choice of presenter. I never had to worry about a thing with this part of the event.

Karen, Amethyst Events 12 Jun 2009

Hi, I am SO late (by around 6 months actually!) in leaving this feedback - but I still would like to say a HUGE THANK YOU to Renate Samson for ALL her invaluable help with our client's event last December! It's the 2nd time we've hired the speaker, Chris Arnold, and he went down a storm too! So, thank you Renate - and I look forward to working with you again soon! Karen

Vicki, NHS East Of England 1 Jun 2009

Excellent – first class, thank you and your team for your excellent service as you kept me informed throughout and as ever no problems at all.

JLA proved to be very efficient in the response times and general support. I was able to speak with our speaker prior to our conference, which meant I was confident that the presentation would be suitable and meet our brief.

WBR 28 Apr 2009

Excellent, as always. JLA was very quick to find a solution for us, very responsive, and open to negotiation.

Where to start...?
They're just the best. I'd trust them to always give me scrupulously fair advice and well negotiated fees and terms. Great people doing a great job.

The Manufacturing Institute 8 Apr 2009

JLA were very helpful especially in assisting in brokering a suitable payment for the speakers.

Red E2 8 Apr 2009

JLA was extremely accommodating. There were a couple of times where I was nervous my information/requests were not going through while my main contact was away but there was no need for me to panic. I like JLA’s flexibility and would like to note that Simon King provided a wonderful service and JLA will certainly be my first choice the next time I am in need of a speaker, artist or presenter. I would also like to commend you on your new index, very informative indeed.

David, Echelon Learning Limited 25 Mar 2009

Excellent range of speakers for every occasion. Well marketed in our experience over at least last 20 years.

Lynda, About - U Travel 25 Mar 2009

I went to my first breakfast meeting last week and I was most impressed with the staff you employ and also with the quality fo the speakers. Both of them I found very interesting and I even bought the book! Once we have SA Chamber of Commerce up and running we will definately use your services for functions.

I would like to say also maybe we could touch on the issues of tourism worldwide with the economy downturn. I know we heard about the FMCG markets and retail Clothing industry but not tourism which is formost in most peoples minds when trying to relax?!

Amir, BDO Stoy Hayward LLp 25 Mar 2009

Found JLA to be very efficicient and professional in sourcing some great speakers and they keep me informed on speakers new on the circuit.

Aonghus, Green Issues Communications 25 Mar 2009

I have used JLA for a couple of speaker appointments and found the service to be extremely helpful and professional.
I would not hesitate to recommend to colleagues and associates

Lucy, George Davies Solicitors LLP 25 Mar 2009

JLA are an excellent organisation that i would have no problems in recommending to other professionals. The advice that i have been given has been invaulable.

Hope & Homes For Children 13 Feb 2009

I was impressed that you understood the urgency for us of securing the right comic, right from the outset, and you worked full out to achieve this. You were understanding when our requirements changed a bit during the process and also you weren't afraid to try to get the comics concerned to give us a charity rate, which we really appreciated.

Tina, Denplan 20 Nov 2008

There seemed to be lots of conversations back and forth about the artist’s
requirements. It might have been easier to have spoken to him direct.

Mike, BSRIA 13 Nov 2008

I would just like to take the opportunity to thank Anke for all the help and effort she has given us in sorting the speakers for the 2008 BSRIA Briefing, this year has been particularly difficult but she has been brilliant. We have now worked with Anke for more years than I care to remember it is always a pleasure and I hope that it will continue for many years to come.

Sandra, BT Lynx 13 Nov 2008

From my first conversation with JLA I knew I'd found a professional organisation. The advice they've given me on choice of speakers has been invaluable. Special thanks to Ian Hawkins for being extremely efficient and a pleasure to work with.

Charlotte, Leepeckgroup 12 Nov 2008

JLA provide an excellent, fast and efficient service, particularly useful when handling projects at such short notice. Their service levels are consistently high and we really enjoy working with them, plus, their speakers never disappoint. Their speeches are always right on brief and I have always had excellent feedback from my clients! I would recommend JLA everytime

Here's to the next time!

Zelena, Faversham House Group 6 Nov 2008
