Brew – James Henry Breward MInstSCVE, Audio and Comms Specialist
Quiet Please. The systems that make tennis louder at The Championships Wimbledon

Brew has more than 20 years’ experience, initially embarking upon his training at LIPA, the Liverpool Institute of Performing Arts. Early chapters of his career saw him touring relentlessly with various musical theatre and live music touring productions before moving into the world of Ceremonies, including the Olympics Opening and Closing Ceremonies in London and Sochi, prior to landing full-time at Wimbledon.

Having freelanced for many years on The Championships, he is now responsible for the delivery of everything that is heard around the Grounds: from chair umpires; players’ post-match interviews; voice safety systems; background music and presentations in hospitality spaces; the experience for the public on The Hill; and the Qualifying Competition staged nearby at Roehampton.

If that isn’t enough, Brew is instrumental in the design and implementation of the intercom system, supporting remote audio operation, line calling, statisticians and event safety teams. Brew also works as an Audio and Comms lecturer at several training facilities. He likes to stay abreast of new technologies by keeping his hand in the occasional large-scale live event – testing large systems to the limit.
