Project manager Andy Campbell said that Elevator had extensive knowledge of the games industry, having worked with more than 50 companies in the past 20 years.
He said: “Games sector companies are very different from standard businesses, and common to all is an underlying creative passion in gaming – whether this is on the creative side or technology driven, the need to create great games and interactive experiences fuels their passion.
“Companies are often unsure just what their objectives should or could be when it comes to growing their business internationally.”
