Carlisle Support Services are pleased to announce that they have been awarded a 3 year contract to provide Manned Security and Stewarding services to the All England Lawn Tennis Club (Championships) Limited (AELTC).
The AELTC is one of the world’s oldest and most prestigious private members’ tennis clubs and the home of The Championships, Wimbledon, one of the sporting events.
Building a good working relationship
In addition to the 24-7/365 Site Security, Carlisle will also be providing in excess of 350 event staff during the two weeks of The Championships. Adrian White, Operations Director at Carlisle, said: “We are delighted and honoured to be working with this Iconic venue.”
“Already we have built a good working relationship with the AELTC Security Team and we understand the culture of the venue and the goals they are looking to achieve. Wimbledon is a unique event and location, for 50 weeks of the year it is a tennis club and for 2 weeks of the year it takes centre stage in the sporting calendar.”
Understanding the contrasting needs of the service
“Our experiences with other major sporting venues that have similar calendars, such as Ascot and Lords, meant we understood the contrasting needs of the service. We are really looking forward to a positive working relationship”
Stephen Grainger, AELTC Head of Security, said “We are delighted to have selected Carlisle Support Services to deliver an important component of our security provision for both our year-round operations and The Championships and we look forward to working with them and our other providers.”
