Terry Sutherland is the founder of The RSVP Agency (http://www.rsvpagency.co.za) and has extensive experience in the development of RSVP solutions for clients across industries.

Terry started her career in 1979 in the motor industry selling BMW's. In 1981 she joined Lindsay Saker where she won the top sales award for 5 consecutive years.

After 14 years in the Motor Industry, Terry left to open her own executive car business in Randburg, called "Sutherlands Executive Cars". Two years later she sold the business.

In 1994 Terry joined VWV Studios as an Account Director where she managed among others, the SAA, Mercedes Benz, Deloitte, BMW, Cell C and Telkom accounts. In 1995 Terry became a board member and shareholder in the VWV Group.

Terry left VWV in October 2003 to start her own Event Company - Terry Sutherland and Associates (TS&A).

It was apparent to Terry that guest management and the RSVP process could either make or break an event. Through TS&A, she had contracted many agencies over the years to manage Client RSVP, but were never satisfied with the level of service we received, or the limited features that the various software systems had to offer.

Because of her vast experience in managing events, conferences, gala dinners, exhibitions, high level VIP guest management and roadshows, Terry, together with Sue Aerts decided to develop their own unique software system, and in 2011, The RSVP Agency was launched.
