Live Group has been appointed LLP to deliver integrated event planning and support services for accountancy and business advisory firm BDO UK in a multi-year partnership.
Under the agreement, the events agency will act as BDO UK’s sole supplier for event planning support, covering both venue sourcing and broader event coordination across all 17 of the firm’s offices.
The partnership is designed to bring greater consistency and clarity to how events are delivered across the organisation, enabling teams to work with a single, trusted framework for planning and delivery.
Beyond venue sourcing, the partnership places particular emphasis on enhancing BDO’s ability to design and manage events in a more joined‑up, insight‑led way. Through centralised processes and clearer oversight of national activity, BDO will be better equipped to streamline planning, improve operational efficiency, and ensure event experiences consistently reflect the needs of its people, clients and communities.
Suzie Branscombe, events project lead at BDO UK, said: “Events play a vital role in how we connect with both our people and the businesses and communities we work with. A lot of time an effort goes into the planning and executing our events, involving work from teams and individuals across our business.”
“This partnership gives us a more coordinated way of delivering those moments, helping us focus on the quality, purpose and impact of the experiences we create, making them engaging and memorable for all the right reasons.”
Stephen D. Pickett, managing director at Live Group, added: “We’re proud to support BDO in creating events that bring their people and the businesses they work with together, and to help shape experiences that genuinely resonate with the audiences they’re designed for.”
