We've heard a great deal about the Olympic Village where they'll all be staying, the new stadia and aquatics centre where the sports men and women will be displaying their prowess and the surrounding parklands that have been established for them, as well as visitors, to enjoy, but nowhere have I seen any information about whose products have been used for the kitchens, bathrooms and bedrooms!

Winning a contract to supply fixtures, fittings, appliances and furniture for the Games has to be the biggest coup going and I'm surprised that - in an industry that is normally so good about sharing its successes - the relevant marketing people have kept so quiet. If this is part of the infamous Games crackdown on people using the event for marketing purposes I can understand just how frustrating that must be and hope that perhaps after the event I'm going to be inundated with press releases!

If you have any industry-related news you'd like to share with our readers (wherever you are in the world, as we have readers on just about every continent!) do please send it in for consideration, together with any supporting images.

Yours,

Jan Hobbs
