Managers, meerkats and monkeys will all be watching the Olympics together according to a new TV licensing campaign.

Battersea Park Children’s Zoo will be among thousands of businesses across Wandsworth who will Stop, Watch and Cheer along Team GB.

More than 2,500 hours of live Olympic coverage will be shown, mostly during working hours, and Battersea Park Children’s zoo has embraced the opportunity to boost staff morale by allowing its workforce to watch the historical event live.

A TV licensing survey revealed 44 per cent of businesses found that live events at work create a better atmosphere.

Justin Webb, Partnership Manager at Pro-Active South London said "We truly believe that sport brings people together, so giving your employees the chance to watch the action is a great way to build morale and to forge closer relationships amongst colleagues in your workplace."

TV Licensing is encouraging businesses to check they are licensed before tuning in.

A licence costs £145.50 and can be bought in minutes online at www.tvlicensing.co.uk
