Johnson to launch recruitment drive for London Ambassadors
With exactly two years to go until the Olympic opening ceremony, the Mayor of London revealed his vision, which will be managed by the London Development Agency.
In addition London 2012 are seeking 70,000 volunteers for key positions during the Games from spectator services to transportation.
Johnson’s ‘London Ambassadors’ will be based at 35 information booths across the city, such as transport hubs, outside Games venues, near to the City Live Sites, and close to tourist hot spots.
“When the world descends on our doorstep in 2012 we need an army of ambassadors to provide the welcome and hospitality that will ensure their friends and family will return for many years to come to experience the electric atmosphere of the world’s top city,” said Johnson.
“We can’t do this alone so we’re looking for London Ambassadors to lead on the frontline.
“If you are passionate about London, love this city like I do and want the world to know the great story we have to tell here then please register your interest online.
“This is a once in a lifetime opportunity and everyone in London has a role to play – don’t let it pass you by.”
