International Conference 2025

I, along with the senior team at Allen Carr’s Easyway, were delighted to welcome the international family to the UK for our International Conference 2025.

Robin Hayley (Chairman) opening address

Opening address in brief:

“With perhaps the exception of the first ever conference I have never been so excited about a conference before…

I have spent the last 35 years with ACE. First as a therapist, then as CEO for 23 years, then as Chairman for 10 years and now as Executive Chairman to reflect my recent return to a more pro-active role in the application of the Easyway method to a broader range of issues initially through our publishing programme.

I will also be overseeing and advising our new highly talented exciting and dynamic senior team on corporate strategy and it’s implementation.

I was fortunate to have worked extremely closely with Allen Carr himself from the time we set up the second clinic together in the UK in 1990 and created the organisation called Allen Carr’s Easyway.

By the time I stepped down as CEO the organisation was in 50 countries around the world and the classic title Allen Carr’s Easyway to Stop Smoking had already been translated into 40 different languages.

Allen & Joyce became close friends of mine and was so proud of what this organisation has become and what you have all helped to create to serve his mission to free the world of smoking. He adored these conferences and loved connecting personally with the fabulous group of like minded people who shared his passion for dedicating their lives to saving and transforming the quality of the lives of so many others.”

Paul Baker (CEO) opening address

Part of the opening address:

“I am looking forward to the next and very exciting chapter of Allen Carr’s Easyway.

There are tremendous opportunities to help even more people to freedom but I have very big shoes to fill following in the footsteps of John, Robin and of course Allen.

I am in awe of everyone in this room and I applaud you all. Every year you help thousands of people to freedom.

I am so privileged to be leading such a group of people and to have the honour of telling the world what you all do.

I am sure that Allen will approve and smile to think of a fellow Chartered Accountant leading the organisation.

Allen Carr’s Easyway to Stop Smoking remains the bestselling stop smoking book of all time though with a different cover.

It is not alone and many of our titles are best sellers and continue to be top of the rankings around the world.

So this is a very special conference and I am glad you could all attend….

I would also like to introduce you to our new Senior Team who will help me to grow the business, run the operations and further develop the method both digitally and helping with more issues & addictions”
