businesses. With billions of pounds of contracts to supply for the London 2012
games. The games promise to deliver a London changing experience. However, there
will also be some challenges for business and individuals.
With 10.8 million tickets sold
around 2 million Olympic visitors are expected to share the same resources as
you and I struggle with daily. This will means millions of extra people will be
using the transport system during the summer, a time that is already busy in
the capital. Each individual or business will be affected by the games in
different ways and to different extent and you will know best what is likely to
