Director Andy Reed helped launch a Commonwealth Games Procurement event for Leicestershire Businesses at MIRA Technology Centre this week.
Learning from the 2002 London Games, Leicestershire & Rutland Sport teamed up with the LLEP and Chamber of Commerce to put on the event for local companies interested in securing work from Birmingham 2022.
Over 76 Leicestershire companies won over 176 contracts in 2012 worth over £100m.
“I’d like to see Leicestershire companies do as well out of the 2022 Games as we did from London. By being proactive we can make sure we share the knowledge and experience through these events.
We are building a sports business network across the County to make sure we all encourage each other and build a strong local business base.
