New Year Honours 2013: gongs galore for suits behind London 2012 - Telegraph.co.uk

Several other key members of the Locog team are recognised, including a CBE for Debbie Jevans, the director of sport who is now chief executive of Rugby World Cup 2015.

There are OBEs for James Bulley, the director of venues and infrastructure, Jackie Brock-Doyle, the director of communications, and Therese Miller, Locog's general counsel who was Deighton's key aide.

Ruth Mackenzie, the director of the Cultural Olympiad, is appointed a CBE, while the producer of the torch relay which presaged the games, Deborah Hales, is made an MBE.

More controversially there is an OBE for David Peacop, the head of logistics at CLM, the private company paid £650?million after being retained as "delivery partner" on the construction project.

There are also a raft of awards for civil servants in the Government Olympic Executive, the agency that monitored the Olympic project from Whitehall. Jeremy Beeton, director general of the GOE, receives the Order of the Bath and finance director David Goldstone is appointed a CBE.

There are also honours for civil servants at departments involved in delivering the Games, including a CBE for the director of the UK Border Agency Olympic programme, and the official responsible for accreditation at the office for security and counter terrorism at the Home Office.
