Video exclusive: Sir Matt Pinsent on new London 2012 Olympics sponsorship scheme for small businesses

Sir Matthew Pinsent

Organisers of the London 2012 Olympics have launched Our Team 2012, a scheme to get small and medium sized businesses involved in the Games. Dan Martin spoke to quadruple Olympic gold medallist Sir Matthew Pinsent to find out more.

 

For a £20,000 fee over two years, the initiative, backed by Dragons' Den panellist Duncan Bannatyne, gives companies access to athletes, invites to networking and business training events and the ability to put London 2012 logos on their website and marketing material. The money raised by the scheme, which is sponsored by VISA and backed by Dragons' Den panellist Duncan Bannatyne, will fund British athletes' training and other costs.

Dan Martin, editor of BusinessZone.co.uk, recorded an exclusive video interview with four times Olympic gold medalist Sir Matthew Pinsent, who is also supporting the scheme. You can see the video below.
