PARIS 1900: The first woman to win an Olympic event was England's Charlotte Cooper, who won the tennis singles.
LONDON 1908: The first time a relay was included in the athletics events.
With nearly 2,000 branches, more than 60,000 staff, and over 16 million customers, Lloyds TSB is uniquely positioned to take the vision and values of the London 2012 Games to people in communities across Britain, and to take those people to the Games themselves.
Through our presence on high streets the length and breadth of the UK and our face to face relationships with our customers, we will provide opportunities for all our customers and staff to share in the excitement of London 2012.
We will create inclusive and fun activities which allow people to participate in their own way and we will use our products & services to provide customers with unique support.
For example, the Lloyds TSB Official Business Guide for London 2012 has been designed to help companies of all sizes, from across the country, seize the commercial opportunities being created by the London 2012 Games.
Through our Local Heroes initiative, Lloyds TSB is championing and supporting some of Britain’s best young sporting hopefuls in their community on their journey to London 2012 and beyond.
