Business minister Mark Prisk has hosted the first Olympic sponsors’ business event to highlight the support on offer from both Government and the private sector to businesses in the run up to London 2012.
The Olympic Sponsors’ Summit on Tuesday (November 2) heard that Olympic contracts that are still up for grabs and detailed business support packages that 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games sponsors BT, Lloyds TSB and Deloitte are offering.
Speaking at the Department for Business, representatives from Lloyds TSB, Deloitte and BT raised the challenges and opportunities the Games present to businesses in the UK.
They discussed how to tackle issues such as protecting against the expected increase in attacks on business IT networks, how to cope with business continuity issues during periods of high demand and maintaining excellent service to customers during the Games.
These private sector initiatives join the support already available from Government, including the Competefor.com website, linking registered companies with Olympic contracts.
Prisk said: “The London Games are generating billions of pounds worth of contracts throughout the supply chain, securing new business for firms and powering their growth for the long term. This is an opportunity that no company can afford to miss out on.
“I am delighted that these three sponsors of the Games are joining with Government to support businesses as they prepare for 2012. There is a lot that businesses can learn from one another and I hope this event is just the first of many, where companies of all sizes can come together to share their wealth of knowledge and expertise that exists in the business community.”
