"Having been involved in events for a number years, results and timing were something which were always a concern to race organisers. Fortunately with the advent of online entry, chip timing and automatic results, our lives have been made a whole lot easier. At the very forefront of providing these services, TDL are leaders in their field. I have worked with Tom and the team for over 6 years now, at more events than I care to remember, and I can honestly say that their professionalism, quality of service, attention to detail and friendliness in providing these services, are second to none. I cannot speak highly enough of TDL Event Services. "
– Matt Ward | Race Organiser (Trail Marathon Wales)
"Since we moved over to chip timing four years ago TDL have provided an excellent timing service, providing quick reliable results enabling us to complete the results presentation without delay. Incorporating the timing device in the race bib has been a further improvement reducing time spent on race administration and proving just as reliable as timing devices worn on shoes."
– Malcolm Fowler | Race Organiser (Wilmslow Half Marathon)
"When I organised my first event, TDL were really good at advising me & giving me some great tips from their experience. They were a great part of the event. So much so that my 10k run, the first event I had ever organised, was voted the best 10k run in the country !"
– Adrian Shandley | Race Director (Mad Dog 10K run Southport)
