London Mayor Boris Johnson has announced that Dennis Hone has been appointed as chief executive of the London Legacy Development Corporation (LLDC).
Hone had been acting as the interim chief executive of the LLDC since August 2012 following the resignation of Andrew Altman.
Boris Johnson said: ‘I am delighted to confirm Dennis Hone’s appointment to this critical role shaping London’s Olympic legacy. It is my top priority to transmute the success of this summer into solid economic returns to benefit London for decades to come. Dennis brings a wealth of skills and experience vital to helping bring our ambitious plans to successful fruition.’
Hone said of his appointment: ‘It’s been a privilege to be part of the team that helped to deliver the London 2012 Games and I’m delighted to now have the opportunity to deliver its legacy in East London. We have a huge amount of work to do in this next phase to create Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park and I’m looking forward to leading the Legacy Corporation to meet this challenge.’
