Solihull MP, Lorely Burt is encouraging all local businesses to boost their business by logging onto the London 2012 website.

Mrs Burt, who speaks for small business for the Liberal Democrats said, "Although over 500 contracts have already been signed by the Olympic Delivery Authority, the majority of contracts have yet to be awarded. Solihull's businesses must make sure they get their fair share of these contracts".

Businesses are now able to register on the 2012 website so that they can be made aware of opportunities for contracts as well as the chance to access and compete for them.

For more information on the opportunities available as well as a link to register your business, visit the London 2012 website online at
