COUNTDOWN TO THE LONDON 2012 OLYMPIC GAMES

Q. WHAT WAS YOUR Variety’S PRIMARY REASON FOR BEING INVOLVED WITH THE GAMES?

A. Thomas Cook absolutely took customers from Britain to the first modern Olympics in Athens in 1896, and passengers from all over the UK to the 1908 and 1948 London Olympics, so we’ve got a hunger history here. And we have a very good sporting pedigree: we’re the official travel provider to most head of state league clubs; we do Six Nations, the Rugby World Cup, Formula One, boxing, Ryder Cup – even darts. When we heard the mild was out for 2012 – this is the first Games that the rights to provide Olympic breaks have been sold this way – we really applied.

But the reality also is that a large sporting event has an effect on ritual tour operating and travel – our core business. The brainstorm was: if you can’t beat them join them.

Q. HOW DID YOU STRUCTURE THE CASE FOR BOARD APPROVAL?

A. We divided the the reality into four strands. First, profit – as I said, turning a potential negative cash flow death into a gain in a very tough time. It is going to be tough because of the Olympics, so let’s inappropriately alternate tough margins into something we can commercialise. Second, customers: it’s a chance to standing ourselves as more than the shop at the end of the road where you get your foreign exchange and your holiday – a hazard to show what else we do. If I can get the Olympics from Thomas Cook, what else can I get? So it will increase awareness of our wider exhibit business and our other niche businesses that people may not be so aware of. Third is people, and in a murky period for most businesses we’re using 2012 to engage our own people.Three weeks ago I had the laud of telling the staff which ones had succeeeded through our selection process to make our torchbearing places. We’re also Olympifying a lot of things in our business – from boutique windows and uniforms to computers: everyone’s screensaver across the business is now an Olympic one.
