WREXHAM MP Ian Lucas is urging businesses in his constituency to bid for a share of Olympic glory.

As the Olympic games 2008 get under way in Beijing, Mr Lucas wants businesses to register at the London 2012 business site, www.CompeteFor.com, for one of the business contracts for the games.

Mr Lucas said: “I know some businesses have expressed concerns the benefits of the Olympics may not reach them. I would urge businesses from Wrexham – and from all across Wales – to use the Compete For site to ensure their voice is heard in the run up to 2012.

“There are real benefits for Wales to be had from the Olympics, and real benefits for Welsh businesses.”

He added: “Wrexham has had several venues endorsed as Olympics training sites – and I would be delighted if Wrexham’s businesses could share in the 2012 Olympics.”
