Went to an event last night especially for local businesses that want to be ready for any opportunities that the London Olympics will create for them.
There were lot's of big players there and after listening to the speakers I realised that the impact will be collossal - did you realise that at it's peak there will be 6000 construction workers on site? Imagine how many teas, coffees and bacon butties are going to be needed to keep them all working happily.
The ODA (Olympic Delivery Authority) are totally committed to using local companies to help regenerate the area still further.
So my message to all you companies is to get 'Olympic Fit' by making sure all your processes are up to scratch - including Health & Safety and Quality Systems, because this will also be taken into consideration. Contracts will be awarded from 2007 onwards.
Have a good one.
