What do you do?
Games-masters.com licences Massively Multiplayer Online computer games from Korea and market them to Europe. Our first game, Cabal Online, has over 70,000 subscribers.
What stage is the company at?
We are currently based at Sheffield Technology Parks but we are setting up new support offices in Germany, Spain and Turkey.
We are also looking to add four more games to our portfolio within the next 12 months, and scale up the number of Games-masters.com staff.
Why did you choose Sheffield Technology Parks as the location for your business?
Sheffield Technology Parks boasts a great location in a city with two reputable universities providing skilled workers who can work part time. The city is full of young people with an interest in the internet and games.
We have just moved into the West Wing after expanding rapidly from our existing office (which was also at Sheffield Technology Parks).
How have Sheffield Technology Parks helped you?
Sheffield Technology Parks provide Games-masters.com with high quality office accommodation. They have given us the space to expand at our own pace within a city on the rise.
Being housed in a business incubator has also given us networking opportunities with other companies such as web designers and software developers. We hope to be able to work with some of these in the future.
