Corporate and Sporting Events

Corporate and Sporting Events (CSE) are a team of leading logistics experts, managing sports and business events across the globe.

CSE are leading experts in the global events industry, seamlessly managing the behind-the-scenes logistics of major sporting and corporate occasions across five continents.

The specialist team has provided comprehensive logistics solutions for more than 750 events to date, with 2026 projects set to span from Perth to Paris and Los Angeles to Kuala Lumpur. This sees them take responsibility for everything from transport to accommodation for athletes, coaches, delegates – and all of their equipment too.

Since launching in 2008, CSE has developed long-standing partnerships with many of the world’s foremost sporting governing bodies such as World Athletics, World Aquatics and World Gymnastics, as well as UK-based sports authorities including British Gymnastics, England Hockey, and the LTA. The strength of these partnerships has seen them rise to the top of the events logistics industry – being called on to support some of the biggest and best sporting events such as the Paris Olympics, Wimbledon and the London Marathon.

The increasingly international nature of their work means a well-managed schedule to ensure the team are always on hand to co-ordinate logistics in cities across the world, often travelling from one continent to another to another – such is the demand for CSE’s expertise. Yet despite their global success, CSE has remained true to their UK roots: all of this work is co-ordinated from their headquarters in Birmingham, at the Alexander Stadium which hosted the Commonwealth Games in 2022.

However, there are two specific goals when it comes to the future of the business – CSE’s plans run on a four-year basis in line with the Olympics, so in-depth plans are already underway to take the team up to LA 2028. By then, they will have worked with every major governing body for all Olympic sports, and they have set their sights on revenues exceeding £30m a year."
