The 2012 Games are approaching fast and there is huge investment in the capital’s infrastructure, resulting in numerous business opportunities. Investors are simply spoilt for choice in the range of opportunities that we are offering and it’s getting better all the time. I’ll be telling those investors and developers at every opportunity that London is open for business”.
