MANCHESTER, UNITED KINGDOM — (Marketwire) — 03/19/12 — Swinton Commercial, one of the UK-s leading brokers is advising fleet managers to plan ahead for disruption to road networks as a result of the 2012 London Olympics.
The advice comes following the announcement by Transport for London (TfL) this week, that businesses operating along the routes of the Games- road cycling, marathon, race-walking and triathlon events, will soon receive detailed information on how they will be affected by the Games.
Businesses transporting goods to and from their premises could incur costly financial losses as a result of the delays if fleet managers fail to prepare their drivers in advance.
Road events for the London 2012 Olympics are due to take place on routes passing through areas such as Hammersmith, Wandsworth, Westminster and Richmond upon Thames, with local areas expected to experience exceedingly busy periods.
Swinton Commercial is also offering the following advice to fleet managers ahead of the Games:
Brian Greenfield, Chartered Insurance Broker at Swinton , said: “It is important that fleet managers understand the impact that these disruptions could have on their business. Planning ahead for all eventualities can help them ensure they do not lose out financially as a result of the diversions. We would also recommend that they check their business insurance policies, to make sure they are covered for circumstances such as this.”
