Our Structure

South West England Board for the 2012 Games

The Board is responsible for setting the strategic direction of the region’s activities and support for the London 2012 Games. The Board is chaired by David Fursdon, the London 2012 Organising Committee (LOCOG) Nations and Regions Group member for South West England, and comprises public and private sector representation from business, tourism, sport, volunteering, local authorities, Dorset (the venue for the London 2012 sailing competition), regional resilience, and RELAYS.

South West England Operations Group for the 2012 Games

While the Board provides the direction and strategy for the Team South West partnership, the day-to-day regional liaison, coordination and planning is carried out by an Operations Group led by Deborah Bertram, the London 2012 Nations and Regions Co-ordinator for the region.
Membership of the Operations Group includes Business Link, RELAYS, a regional resilience representative, a local authority representative, the London 2012 Cultural Programmer and the London 2012 Inspire Programmer.

County Working Groups

The Operations Group is supported by seven County Working Groups, each with their own objectives and priorities for maximising the opportunities offered by the London 2012 Games.
A person has been nominated in each county to act as the main point of contact through which Deborah Bertram and the South West England Operations Group for the 2012 Games communicate and disseminate information throughout the region.
