What others have to say…

SES excels in flawless timing management for our Running, Swimming, and Cycling Events. Their meticulous attention to detail and unwavering dedication ensures a seamless experience on event day. Ricky's expertise, particularly in handling large-scale events under pressure and coordinating with live streaming, enhances the success of our events. We highly recommend SES for anyone seeking exceptional timing and management services.

If accurate timing, attention to detail, multiple splits and results are important to your event then you need Ricky and the SES team. If you want someone who can interact with your event management team that is punctual, calm, polite and efficient then you need SES. If you want the latest technology and software integration then you need SES. Ricky and his team at SES have been working with our multisport event “The Hell of the West Weekend” for the last 5 years. We are known as Queensland toughest triathlon and it isn’t an easy event to manage and we couldn’t be happier with SES and couldn’t recommend them highly enough.

SES provides the guidance, support and accurate timing and bib management for our running event. Ricky scrutinises all the data to ensure the up most credibility to the race, and all runners involved. His willingness to go above and beyond can’t be matched. We have a fantastic working relationship with SES and look forward to many more races together.

Sports Event Services are a key part of the Hamilton Island Endurance series. They assist us to provide a professional event experience, make our job easier and always with a smile. Nothing is ever too difficult. Highly recommended.

Frazer Yendell
Hamilton Island Endurance Series

I organise trail, road, triathlon and duathlon events - and I ONLY use the Sports Event Services team. I just found when starting out in the industry, that their attention to detail, their understanding of the athletes needs, wants and behaviours and willingness to 'make things happen' make them ideal to work with. The team provide great communication and their pre-event work helps to identify any potential dramas and therefore avoid any unwanted issues. I highly recommend Sports Event Services for your event.

SES and Ricky Swindale have been integral to our event and a played a huge role in its overall success by providing their expertise across all aspects of event management. SES have worked in a true partnership with our team and supported us with advice and guidance in areas including marketing, merchandise, technology, communications and course design right through to delivery on the day with their elite standard of event management. Ricky and various members of his team have delivered our event since 2021 and they are highly customer focussed, flexible and able to solve any ‘on the day’ challenges quickly whilst being a joy to work with. We couldn’t have delivered the event without SES and Ricky, and can’t wait to deliver the event with them again in 2024 and build it bigger and better over coming years.
