G4S are a tier 3 sponsor of the Olympics. Thus, they paid £10m to be a sponsor.

G4S were also involved, before they got the contract, in the bid for the Olympics.

Pretty sleazy.

Tangent: G4S, and their predecessor Securicor, should win some kind of award for cyberpunk-esque corporate branding. A nebulous private security company named as an inscrutable 3-letter code (now), or as the very generic "Security Corporation" (then) are both pretty good. Also, the former slogan, "Securicor Cares".
