Events & Hospitality QM celebrates 1 year to the 2012 Olympics
July 2011
Events & Hospitality QM (the hospitality brand of Queen Mary, University of London) is joining the country in celebrating the one-year countdown to the 2012 Olympic Games by announcing the major role it will play in the delivery of the games.
Over 1000 of the College's 3* graded bedrooms have been signed up by LOCOG for the duration of the Olympic and Paralympic games due to their quality and location 2 miles from the Olympic Park in Stratford. Whilst the Olympic stadium itself can be seen from many of the windows of the en-suite rooms overlooking the Regents Canal at the Mile End Campus, providing a visible reminder to those who stay.
Organisations using the bedrooms in 2012 include the British Olympic Association (BOA) and British Paralympic Association (BPA) alongside LOCOG. Key features making the accommodation the ideal choice, in addition to its location are a 24-hour reception, a mixture of single and twin en-suite rooms, on campus restaurants, shops and security providing facilities around a village square.
Sue Mussett, Business Development Manager for Events & Hospitality QM notes "2012 gives us a unique opportunity to showcase the wonderful facilities that we have here at Queen Mary to the international guests staying in connection with the Olympics. We do, however, recognise the importance and value of our regular and new clients who will be affected by this one-off event and will be working hard to ensure that wherever possible it will be 'business as usual' here at the College".
