Unlike any other previous Olympics delivery body, the senior executives of Locog remained in post from the day they were appointed until the last firework fizzled over the Closing Ceremony and indeed after. The top team stuck to its task and delivered a superlative Games, testament of course to the talent and commitment of each individual, and the quality of the leadership, but also indicative of a team with the right blend of experience who were not only a fantastic fit with the role but who also embraced the organisation’s ethos and culture. Over 7.5 million people visited the Olympic venues, yet the reach of the Games went far beyond the Olympic Park.

We apply our ability to think creatively, look beyond the obvious hire, and work together as interdisciplinary teams both in the UK and internationally, every day.
