The London 2012 Olympic Games and Paralympic Games offer great potential to Dorset's businesses that want to maximise this once in a lifetime opportunity. The current economic down turn can make the Games appear distant and many businesses have priorities elsewhere. However, recessions do not last forever and most economist put us on the road to recovery by 2011 so planning for 2012 must start now. 2012-related opportunities are out there now and many of the things that businesses could be doing to prepare for 2012 will help them survive the economic downturn and put them into a stronger position in the future .
Team Dorset is working to assist local businesses in making the most of this opportunity and ensure that they deliver a legacy in the process. If we all work together, the legacy from local businesses to Dorset could include:
-
Skills development of local workforce
-
Increase average earnings
-
Encourage more young people to settle in Dorset
-
Promote Dorset as a location for business
-
Strengthen key sectors
In this Business section you can find out more on what is happening, opportunities for Dorset's businesses and also guidelines on using the Olympics branding. If you require further information or would like to give us any feedback please email tellus@teamdorset.org.uk.
