Duncan is running a super efficient show, scores go up so quickly, informative emails sent out before the show with instructions so you know what to do / expect, the facilities at the venue (Wix) are amazing. Really impressed and we will be back supporting the venue regularly 😃

Very well run show, results are published so fast and the times are fairly spot on! Would always come to an Optimum Event Management show, as it’s always a great experience, especially for the youngsters!

What a fabulous venue Wix Equestrian Centre is to hold such a very well run dressage show. Duncan continues to provide brilliantly run shows with a lovely friendly approach.
Just attended another fabulous venue ( 25/7/21 - ), and yet again it ran like clockwork under Duncan’s superb organisation. So nice to attend such well run and friendly shows.

Duncan’s events are always run in a friendly and professional manner. The organisation for each event is spot on and runs like clockwork. During Covid he has always managed to adhere to the guidelines set out and makes sure everyone is safe.

I recently attended a BD event at the Centaur Trust in Suffolk organised by Optimum Events and found the venue well run and organised. The facilities were great and the people really helpful. I will definitely go there again. Kerry White.
