Be The Backbone of Wimbledon!

Our Stores, Beverage Logistics & Linen team is at the heart of everything we do, driving the seamless operation behind the scenes at Wimbledon. Roles starting from May 2025, this team will be essential in getting the site ready for the first serve, handling everything from site setup and deliveries to ensuring that all systems are in place for Day 1 of service and throughout the tournament. We’re on the lookout for self-motivated, team-oriented individuals with a strong work ethic and an infectious can-do attitude—people who thrive under pressure and can meet tight deadlines.

With food, beverage, and non-food items being moved across the 28-acre site—by hand, forklift, or lorry—teamwork is key. You'll be part of a high-energy, fast-paced environment where every day is different. Our 24-hour operation ensures that we’re always prepared, and although these roles are behind the scenes, you’ll be an essential part of delivering a world-class experience for our guests.

These roles are physically demanding and may involve manual labor and operating heavy machinery. But don’t worry—training and PPE will be provided to ensure you’re fully equipped. Plus, attendance at role-specific training in June 2025 is mandatory for all successful applicants.

If you're ready for a hands-on, dynamic role with the chance to be part of one of the most iconic events in the world, this is your moment! Apply now for a truly unforgettable experience at Wimbledon!
