Our Story

About OrderWhizz

In 2022, we took a hard look at the ticketing industry. It was clear to us that event organisers and consumers alike were getting a raw deal; extreme booking fees, ticket touts, poor support from foreign phone centers, and apps that were frankly terrible to use.

We knew there was a better way. OrderWhizz was born out of the desire to create a good ticketing service, putting fairness back into the hands of consumers and organisers alike. It should be so easy and cheap to sell tickets online, especially for first-time sellers.

Fast-forward to today, we're proud of how far we've come. In 2025 our incredible community of event lovers grew by 50%, helped by each other, and the person-to-person care provided by our friendly UK support team.

Our Aspirations

We set the new standard of online orders and bookings.

Affordable

"Fair pricing for consumers and organisers."

Easy to Use

"Simple enough for anyone to use."

Versatile

"From reggae-samba to corporate lunches."

Our Mission

Our mission is to protect the vital culture of the UK’s clubs, societies, and organisations. Beyond supporting arts, sports, and business, these groups foster skills and growth nationwide. By building character and unlocking hidden talent, they provide essential health, educational, and social benefits to our communities, transforming lives for the better.

Yet, these volunteer-led organisations are often unfunded and over-stretched, struggling against rising costs and complex regulations. For too long, multi-national monopolies have dominated the industry, with multi-year contracts taking an unsustainable cut of funds. Poor service and subpar apps have become the accepted norm.

Our mission is to make it cheap and easy to offer events online. Whether it’s a social event, a sports meet, a training course, an art class, a trial or a live performance, anyone can launch an event in minutes. No technical expertise or manuals are required. It's free to sell events, (buyers pay a small fee on card purchases) and there are no annual subscriptions.

We hope our own event experience cuts costs and increases efficiency for our community. By redirecting funds away from multi-nationals and back to organisers, we keep the UK event industry sustainable.

Meet the Founders

Adam Hawley

Adam and his family have been immersed in amateur sports clubs as members, competitors and on committees for many years, and so know first hand how much time and cost saving services such as OrderWhizz can help.

With 20+ years in financial services, co-founder of Caplin Systems, a trading technology company, Adam is well-known for pioneering financial transactions over the web in the early 2000s, and since has been focused on creating the next generation of smart and agentic cloud-hosted web-apps with Esparter.

James Turner

James has spent longer designing and building complex software systems (from factory management to foreign exchange trading) than he cares to remember. When he started out, he had some hair.

Being sailing secretary at Brighton Sailing Club James is often reminded how being a member of a vibrant club contributes to the quality of people's lives - community, friendship and wellbeing. Not to mention how much people seem to enjoy a refreshing dip in the sea! He believes that it’s vitally important to help small clubs and societies thrive, and that’s at the very heart of OrderWhizz.

Michael Poston

Michael spent his childhood at local sports clubs, either competing or helping out behind the scenes. Before wearing long trousers, he made a race entry, timing, and handicap system in BASIC. Not much has changed 40 years later, except he's joined by a newer generation of family, who owe so much to local clubs and societies.

Michael has 20+ years of finance experience, and is a former senior manager at Nomura International, an investment bank.

The Brand

The "OrderWhizz" Name

We chose "Order" because OrderWhizz is more than an "events" service, OrderWhizz provides comprehensive orders and bookings across a broad range of products.

The "Whizz" in our name represents the speed of use; from rapidly spinning up events, to high-velocity transaction processing.

Adam Bear

We were first introduced to Adam Bear in the autumn of 2025 when he featured in our "Party Animal" photoshoot for OrderWhizz's food ordering service. Adam brought a lot of passion for the food, and quickly proved a hit with the staff. After featuring in follow-up work, he was made an honorary team member, and has since featured on the OrderWhizz website, our Learning Center and promotional videos.

Besides his passion for food, Adam is a keen swimmer and - when pointed in the right direction - may just be the GOAT in the 25m doggy paddle. He's a keen football and rugby fan, and can't resist getting involved himself, chasing down the ball. He enjoys attending events across the country, including samba dancing and ballet!
