Olypmic games with Man and Van Croydon
Almost 100 south Londoners this week gave London 2012 Games Ambassador, Jonathan Edwards CBE a clear message that they want to make the most of the opportunities that the Games will bring. The triple-jump world record holder and Olympic Gold medallist was at a special Question Time event at the Whitgift School in South Croydon, where he answered questions and talked in depth with local business leaders, young people and community representatives about their hopes for 2012. The Whitgift School is one of South London’s 20 world-class LOCOG approved pre-games training venues.
Edwards said: “We have always stated we wanted London 2012 to be everyone’s Games and we are committed to ensuring that all communities across London know about London 2012-related opportunities and feel they can get involved. “South London has a lot to offer and it’s been fantastic to hear for myself how South London is already preparing to welcome athletes and visitors to this part of the capital and also how much they’ve thought about the legacy of the Games.”
Taylor said: “This event had provided an excellent opportunity for discussion on how we can all make the most of the Games. Croydon in particular has a lot to offer those who are staying in London for the Games. "It is closer than people think to the Olympic boroughs now that the East London Line Extension has been opened up. It also has a wealth of hotels and leisure facilities on the doorstep”.
We hope the Games will create a lasting legacy for the whole region and it is our chance to give the thousands of visitors from around the world who will come to the area a very warm welcome and a really positive impression of South London.”
Our team in Man and Van Croydon has volunteered to help with preparations of Olympic games and also to help all the people who want to move to or from Croydon and surrounding areas. If you would like to move to these areas full of opportunities, give us a call. In Man and Van Croydon we are looking forward to hearing from you.
