The Group, which has worked at Wimbledon for more than 30 years, installed the seating across ten courts, using its Clearview system for the first time on Court 12 where 1,000 seats were custom built in green for Wimbledon.

The system, which gives spectators a better view of the court, was originally created for beach volleyball at Horse Guards Parade during the London 2012 Olympic Games.

Bespoke green and white structures were also used to build the hospitality chalets and catering and retail units, as well as a viewing platform overlooking the practise courts.

Dave Withey, Arena Seating sales and marketing director, said: "Building on the success of previous years the Wimbledon Championships continue to innovate and upgrade their facilities with the latest equipment.

"We’re proud to work with such a progressive organisation, where we can work together to improve spectator experience year on year and utilising our Olympic legacy stock has helped us to meet this aim."

Arena’s interior division Spaceworks and Well Dressed Tables supplied furniture and tableware in outside hospitality areas.
