Last week Andrea and I attended the North West Annual Conference for the London 2012 Olympics. It was a truly inspirational day. It included talks from the movers and shakers of the NWDA, NHS, Northwest Steering Group for the 2012 Olympic & Paralympic Games and McCann Manchester (the official marketing company of the Olympics). Alongside this we witnessed the ‘Be Inspired Awards’, these were received by individuals who have made an outstanding contribution to delivering a legacy in the North West. It was refreshing to learn that the Olympics was about more than just impressive new buildings and up and coming athletes but also that so many of the local community have got involved via the ‘Inspire’ programme.
Along with all the inspirational talks, we were also able to learn how companies across the UK could get involved via the ‘CompeteFor’ site. For the first time there is an official website for the publication of Games-Related business opportunities encouraging transparency and equality throughout. Any business can register on the site to access the supply chain opportunities generated by the 2012 Games and all you have to do is register some general details to create a user account and then complete and publish a full business profile to be matched with the opportunities. If you haven’t already done so then the first step is to visit: www.competefor.com. Simple!
