The company has now supplied the event continuously since 2004, and this will be their third three year agreement.
The world famous championships take place between 21st June and 4th July, although TPA will be on site from the end of April installing nearly 3,000 ‘Traxpanels’ for car and coach parking, the contractors’ compound, debenture car-parking and pedestrian areas on the adjacent golf course. TPA’s Site Service division will also be supplying crowd control barriers to ensure waiting queues do not spill onto the busy main road outside the club.
This new contract will run through to 2012 inclusive and is proof that the AELTC is pleased with the service it receives. John Cox, Buildings and Services Manager at the Club commented; “The All England Lawn Tennis Club is pleased to continue their relationship with TPA in respect of all elements of portable roadways before, during and after the event. TPA has always provided us with excellent support and service; their material is of a very high quality and their teams of engineers always work in a professional manner when on our sites. They are willing to discuss any problems we might have and suggest robust and cost effective solutions.”
Steve Humberstone, TPA’s Operations Director added;
“I am absolutely delighted that the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club have once again chosen TPA to be its exclusive supplier for portable roadways. Our reputation is built on providing a high quality, second to none, service and this has been paramount in securing a further 3 year deal with John and his team. At TPA, we are involved in many high profile sporting events but there are few that come close to the prestige of Wimbledon. I am sure this will be the start of another successful year for TPA.”
TPA is currently one of the main suppliers for many of the UK’s major outdoor sporting events including the Open Golf, the Lawn Tennis Association’s activity at the Queen’s Club, Edgbaston and Eastbourne and regularly undertakes work for IMG and the PGA. It will also be installing panels at Royal Ascot and the RHS Hampton Court flower show and many of the leading music festivals.
