Ruth Mackenzie to stage arts festival for 2012 Olympics

Jan. 19, 2010 - PRLog -- The job of organising an arts festival of world class for the 2012 Olympic Games in London has been conferred to Ruth Mackenzie, an adviser to the government of the United Kingdom.

As a matter of fact, a succession of cultural secretaries of the United Kingdom were officially advised by the former Scottish Opera and Nottingham Playhouse runner, Mackenzie. Today she finds herself named the GBP 130,000 cultural director following a process of drawn-out interview.

The Cultural Olympiad project that held a budget of GBP 80 million, and is deemed as a crucial part of London's 2012 Olympic bid. However, the project had been recently mired in fears of no one coming up to take charge, which has been nullified following the takeover of charge by Mackenzie.

Mackenzie, 52, would be provided with the assistance of a team of advisers that are paid part-time, considering the tight turnaround. The team set to advise her would include the former Edinburgh International Festival head, Sir Brian McMaster, Manchester Internation Festival director, Alex Poots, and Martin Duncan, who had partnered her in running Chichester Festival Theatre.

The team that would be further strengthened by the presence of the MD of the English National Ballet Craig Hassal, would report to the chief of the freshly constructed Cultural Olympiad Board, Tony Hall.

The tourists visiting the United Kingdom with Olympic Games as the prime number in their agenda can benefit greatly from the car rental services of a UK-based car rental company; Car-Hire-UK that offers remarkable vehicle rentals at the major airports in the UK – Heathrow Airport and Gatwick Airport.

Particularly with the premier Meet and Greet service of Car-Hire-UK at Gatwick and Heathrow airports. This service frees the customers from hassles such as queues and long waits, as a staffer of the company meets the customer in person to handover the keys at the terminal.
