As you will probably know, Jan Constantine won a license in 2009 to produce collections for the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games. To celebrate the rapid approach of July 2012, we have some fantastic deals available to you, which you can hear more about on our Facebook and Twitter pages and check out Jan Constantine’s Official London 2012 collection on the website. Keep an eye on this blog and on the newsletters though, because Jan still has more to give…

From 15^th August, you will be able to take a look at the wonderful new Team GB collection. More traditional in style than those already on the website and produced in beautiful royal colours with a majestic spot of gold, this upcoming collection is both quintessentially British and perfectly suited to be heirlooms of the future: by July next year, no sofa will be complete without one of these must-have collector's items. You won’t be able to order the products until September 1^st (we just love teasing you), but there’ll be plenty of photographs up soon for you to drool over until then!

Jan has been flying around the office with excitement recently. Her meeting with Jonathan Edwards, world-record holding Olympic athlete, can’t have helped; and nor can getting her hands on the Olympic Torch, if only temporarily. We thought we’d share this photo with you, just to show how happy she is:

Just for the record – Jan informs us that Jonathan Edwards is lovely, and that the Olympic torch feels like a lightsaber.

Don’t forget to catch “Jan in the van” and her happy face on ITV’s Auction Party again on Thursday!
