BEHIND THE SCENES

The Wimbledon Championships is a complex event requiring a significant amount of planning and preparation.

Preparations for The Championships start immediately after the preceding tournament. Improvements are considered and implemented by the Committee of Management and AELTC staff.

More than 6,000 people work on The Championships. These include a temporary staff of several hundred who are directly employed by the AELTC and others who are provided by firms, contractors, voluntary bodies and public services as well as representatives of the media.
