Liz Basing, Regional Director for UKTI East, said: “One of the key aims of UKTI during London 2012 has been to help British business take advantage of the global spotlight on the UK during the Olympic and Paralympic Games. After the Sydney Olympics, Business Club Australia helped its companies win business worth Aus $1.7Bn across the world and we aim to do the same for British business.
“There will be a wealth of opportunities following the Games. UKTI East has been working with partners to produce events that draw on the spirit of the Games but also provide tangible and direct value for business participants.
“The Olympics and Paralympics have been a once in a generation opportunity. Join us for these unique events and find out how we can help you go for Gold..”
