Founded in 1998 by Dr Tony Ball, and originally named Show and Events Security, the company specialised in delivering crowd management to major events throughout the UK.

The Company has been responsible for the planning and delivery of some of the nations’ largest and high profile events, including the 2012 Queens Diamond Jubilee Celebrations and the annual New Years’ Eve ‘Marking of Midnight’ celebrations in the heart of London, which the SES Group delivered circa nineteen years.

  • The SES Group are proud to offer the chance to train members of the public in the use of defibrillators. Villagers are being given the chance to get trained to use this life-saving equipment.

    Sherburn-in-Elmet Parish Council are urging residents to get involved in free training sessions for the two public access defibrillators in the village. Sessions take place every Tuesday, at the Eversley Park Centre. The sessions are organised and run by the SES Group.

    The British Heart Foundation say that during a cardiac arrest, a patient’s chances of survival are quadrupled if CPR and a defibrillator are used within three to five minutes of it first striking.

    The SES Group are hopeful to start offering out these training services across more communities throughout the UK, in the hope of training more people how to save lives.

    Those wishing to take part in the training sessions in Sherburn should email clerk@sherburninelmet-pc.gov.uk
