Local businesses are being invited to get on their marks and get set to make the most of the opportunities presented by the 2012 Olympic Games.

A workshop at Shepway District Council on 18 February will focus on writing bids and tendering for Olympic work.

There are an estimated 55,000 supply chain contracts to be awarded for the 2012 games - and not only within the construction sector.

The workshop is being run by Business Link Kent.
