Johnson met business leaders from Marks & Spencer, BMW and HSBC, as well as representatives from major hotels, logistics companies, supermarkets, to find out what additional information they needed to be ready for the Games.

Said Johnson: "The success of the 2012 Games in London depends on the ability of our businesses, small and large, to maximise the opportunities from what promises to be a summer like no other.

"We are working very closely with businesses, from those at the top down, to make sure everyone has the information they need to grasp this moment and plan, prepare and ultimately profit from this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. 

Last year, Johnson worked with Transport for London to launch a website dedicated to providing Games-time transport information, the Olympic route network and road restrictions during the event.

Johnson spoke alongside Locog chief executive Paul Deighton, Transport for London commissioner Peter Hendy, and Olympic Park Legacy Company chair Baroness Ford.
