We always seem to look at what is not happening in our lives, rather than looking at what is happening. As much as there are people going through a very tough time, there are those that are doing very well. The 2012 London Olympics is going ahead and there is a lot of preparation that is required. There is still a lot of building that has to take place, not to mention all the other industries that will benefit form this mammoth project. It was very interesting to see some of the figures given out on who is doing what.
London 2012 business benefits:
• 801 contractors have won work supplying the ODA worth over £3.5bn in total.
• Over two thirds (68 per cent) are small and medium sized.*
• Just under half (46 per cent) are based outside of London.
• More than one in ten (12 per cent) is based in the Olympic Park Host Boroughs.
• 98 per cent are based in the UK.
This is fantastic news for these companies. While we keep being told how bad everything is, here are companies that are doing very well and having a good time right now. There are all the companies that will supply those who have won contracts with raw material - so these are not the only ones to benefit the list will go on and on.
When we, as a nation, believe that even the bad times are good, we will turn this current crisis around. The 2012 London Olympics prove that life goes on regardless of current circumstances.
