We love our clients, here's what they have to say about us
We engaged Archer Yates to review our events process at the Royal Society of Medicine and to work with us to identify opportunities for improvement. Their consultancy was professional, knowledgeable and well structured. They worked with us to get an honest and insightful understanding of what we do and how this benchmarks with others. They then recommended straight forward and focussed solutions that are both practical and deliverable. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them as event consultants for anyone looking to understand how they can drive their organisation to make things much better and not just different.
Nigel Collett - Operations Director, The Royal Society of Medicine
The Archer-Yates team interpreted our brief very well. Their communication with us was excellent. It was altogether a pleasure to have them working with us.
Archer-Yates were also watchful on our behalf in dealing with the venue management and their quotations and invoices.The event ran smoothly and any issues that arose were dealt with immediately.
I would highly recommend this company to anyone intending to mount a conference.

“For the past four years we have worked closely with Archer Yates Associates planning, developing and delivering ICEC27. It has been a pleasure, fun even – they took care of the detail and all the stress and allowed me to focus on the rest of the conference.”
John Vandore
ICEC27 UK Committee Member
"Archer Yates provided a first class service, with a readily available dedicated contact (Helen) for this event who not only oiled the conference wheels but assembled them in the first place!"
David Evans
ICMC2018 Conference Chair
We had a wonderfully successful conference with fabulous feedback. Our delegates said they were well looked after; attention was paid to the smallest detail in a timely way and with good humour. AYA’s experience shone through in the advice they gave me so that I relaxed and content to leave it to the pros. Very good VFM.
"Archer Yates Associates helped us with our first ever conference. They were definitely the reason it was such a success. They made us feel like a team throughout the whole process. I recommend them to anyone running a conference in Oxford."

“Archer Yates are a vital part in helping to make the ACCU conference the success it is. It is always a pleasure to work closely with Archer Yates and I have no hesitation in unreservedly recommending them. “
Jon Jagger - Conference Chair 2013, 2014, 2015
"AYA have worked closely with us since 2003 on our annual conference, and very quickly became an indispensable part of the team.
In the past years their highly capable organisational skills have been key to the ongoing success and growth of the event, both in terms of numbers (reaching 400 in the previous year), and in extending from four to five days.
The team at AYA can be relied on to handle any problem calmly and resourcefully, and will always go the extra mile to make sure an event runs smoothly and successfully."
Ewan Milne - Conference Chair 2005, 2006, 2007
“Archer-Yates supported Oxford City Council and the OxFutures partnership in delivering two conferences to engage key local and national stakeholders on how we can scale up community-owned energy projects. Both events were a success – in particular our Powering UP! event gathered over 200 delegates from around the UK to Oxford and was later replicated in a similar event focusing on the North of England.
This success was in no small part due to the organisation that Archer Yates brought to the pre-event registration and communications and on the day delegate management. Julie and the team listened to our needs and supported us throughout the delivery of each event.
They were a pleasure to work with and I highly recommend their service.”
Mairi Brookes
Oxford City Council
