About

Founded in 2000, NMP Live is one of the UK's leading speaker bureaux and celebrity booking agencies. Built on relationships, reputation and a genuine passion for matching the right talent to the right occasion, we specialise in sourcing and booking keynote speakers, after-dinner speakers, motivational speakers, awards hosts, conference moderators, comedians, headline music acts, entertainment and celebrity talent for events of every scale.

Our philosophy is simple: Inspire. Educate. Entertain. Everything we do is focused on delivering speakers and talent that create a genuine impact — on your audience, your event and the lasting impression it leaves.

We work with events and communications agencies, in-house teams and private individuals. Whether it's for a one-off occasion, an annual event or a series of bookings, we appreciate the pressures and complexities of event planning and the need to have a bureau you can rely on. So, whether you are an experienced event professional or booking talent for the first time, our agents will guide you through every stage — from narrowing down the right talent to confirming the final details.

We don't send a generic shortlist and wait to see what lands. Before making any recommendations, we take time to properly understand your event — your audience profile, the occasion, the objectives behind the booking and the impression you want to leave. That depth of understanding is what allows us to put forward talent that genuinely fits your brief.

Once a booking is confirmed, we act as the bridge between you and the talent. We make sure you know exactly what's required in terms of logistics, production and riders, so there are no surprises on the day. Equally importantly, we make sure the talent knows exactly who they're performing or presenting to — briefing them thoroughly on your audience, your business, the event context and your objectives, so that what they deliver is tailored, relevant and lands with the impact you're looking for.

We handle everything from large-scale global conferences with internationally recognised names to smaller, more intimate events where the right lesser-known speaker can be just as impactful. Every booking receives the same level of attention regardless of size or budget.

Our roster includes some of the most sought-after names in business, sport, politics, entertainment and beyond — and our relationships with talent and their representatives mean we can often secure bookings others can't. Beyond events, we also work with brands and agencies to source celebrities and media personalities for endorsements, brand ambassador roles, advertising campaigns and PR activity.

We genuinely enjoy building long-term client relationships — and we place a lot of value on them. When a client returns year after year, we're not starting from scratch — we're building on accumulated knowledge of their audience, their event history and the feedback that shapes each successive booking. That continuity makes for better recommendations, fewer surprises and a working relationship where less needs to be explained each time.

Our testimonials speak to this better than we can — you can read what clients say about working with us here.
