Lauralee Whyte

Founder & Director, Spectrum Speakers

Lauralee is the founder of Spectrum Speakers & Entertainer, a groundbreaking agency dedicated to bringing diverse talent and inclusive practices to the events industry.  With 15 years of experience in the field, including 7 years as a speaker consultant, Lauralee recognized the urgent need for a significant transformation in the standard profile and format of speaker line-ups across events.

Motivated by the lack of diverse keynote speakers and entertainers being represented, Lauralee took the initiative to spearhead the change. In 2021, she launched Spectrum as the first agency in the UK with a dedicated focus on inclusion.

Since its inception, Spectrum has had the privilege of collaborating with renowned brands and events such as Microsoft, Spotify, PWC, and The Times.

Spectrum Speakers & Entertainers offers a comprehensive consultancy service for event planners. The agency prides itself on representing extraordinary speakers, forward thinkers, and entertainers who excel in their respective fields.
