Today, next have been announced as the Official clothing and homewear providers as a tier 3 sponsor.

Brief summary:
-They will design Team GB's format wear and the officials formal wear
-Provide furnishings for the Atheletes village

A good addition i'd say, Next clothing is good quality, should be good to see what they decide to put onto the market.

I thought John Lewis were furnishing the village, or are they just doing the VIP areas

I'm also confused. Now we have John Lewis and next doing very similar jobs.

More £££ for LOCOG. No need to be confused.

I just had a look

As part of their partnership with London 2012, John Lewis will offer their staff - known as Partners- the opportunity to work at LOCOG in the build-up to the Games, help to furnish lounge and reception areas at Games-time venues, and provide warehouse space. As well as 2012 shop in shops.
