Provision of catering services at the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games

 

Arena Leisure Plc ('Arena'), the UK's leading operator of horseracing fixtures that owns and operates seven racecourses in the UK comprising Doncaster, Royal Windsor, Lingfield Park, Southwell, Wolverhampton, Folkestone and Worcester and provides the catering services at all seven venues, today announces that it has successfully tendered to The London Organising Committee of The Olympics Games and Paralympic Games Limited (LOCOG) and been awarded the contract to provide catering services at both the Eton Dorney and Greenwich Park venues as part of the Olympic and Paralympic Games in 2012.

During the Olympic and Paralympic Games in 2012, Eton Dorney will be home to the sprint canoeing and rowing events and Greenwich Park will be home to the equestrian and modern pentathlon events.

The contract contains elements of both fixed income and income that is dependent upon the numbers of attendees and their spend per head. The Board currently estimates that Arena's 2012 net profit contribution from the contract will be in the range of £0.5 million - £1.0 million.

Mark Elliott, Chief Executive of Arena, commented:

"Arena formed its own catering business in 2007 and since then it has established a leading food and beverage offering across each of our seven Racecourse venues. This contract adds another dimension to Arena's increasingly diversified revenue streams".
