About Us
The MYT Events Team
MYT are a team of highly experienced Professional Conference Organisers, dedicated to ensuring that your event is memorable, productive and stress free for both you and your delegates.
Our TEam
Established in 2000 and based in Port Solent, Portsmouth, MYT operates on a local and international basis providing high end solutions to our clients varying needs.
We provide a full range of professional event management services with a turnkey approach for clients across many sectors. Some of our clients make full use of this approach and rely on us to manage the entire process, whilst others select from our broad range of services dependent on the nature and size of their event.
Janine Lancaster
Founder / Managing Director
Shaped by extensive travel and deep cultural insight, Janine founded MYT in 2003 with a clear purpose: to offer a personal, bespoke, and transparent approach to venue finding and event management. As founder of MYT she continues to lead her team in serving many of the longstanding clients who have entrusted MYT with their events since its conception.
Whilst continuing to ensure that every client experiences a service which matches her own exacting standards of attention to detail whilst delivering with honesty, integrity and passion, Janine remains excited by building breadth and depth within her company.
When she is not being her team’s biggest cheerleader and her client’s greatest ally, Janine immerses herself in wellbeing practices such as walking and cold water swimming, that fuel focus, balance, and resilience — alongside time spent with family and friends.
Rachel Bradley
Corporate Director
Rachel is the lynchpin in our team having been in the mix since 2003. As an unshakable vessel of calm, she is crucial to our management and delivery of client centred events. With a depth of experience in travel, hospitality and management, Rachel exudes “all is under control” in the whirlwind world of event management with its constant flux of changes and deadlines.
Rachel’s integrity, of always working transparently and honestly, placing customer service at the core of everything she does, embodies the values of MYT. Her leadership cascades this vital quality throughout the team and ensures that MYT knows what our clients most need and want, often before they do.
When Rachel is not being our ever-calming super glue in MYT, she enjoys refilling her glass through meditative walks on beaches and re-energises through gym classes.
