Shortlisted 2012 venue operators named
The Olympic Park Legacy Company (OPLC) has announced that three operators have been shortlisted to run London's Aquatics Centre and Multi-Use Arena after the 2012 Games.
Greenwich Leisure (GLL); Parkwood Leisure; and Serco Group have been confirmed as the groups in the running to take over the venues. An appointment is to be made in early 2012. The chosen operator will be responsible for helping to grow sports participation by offering an extensive range of programmes, coaching and community activities at both sites.
In addition, the successful bidder will also work in conjunction with the OPLC to develop a number of pathways that promote local employment and enhanced accessibility. OPLC director of venues Peter Tudor said: "By appointing the operator before the Games, we can work together to develop a full programme of activities for when the venues reopen, focused on encouraging sports participation, community access and a range of cultural events."
