Gamevy to set up games development studio in Newcastle

Lottery games and bingo developer Gamevy has announced that it is to set up a new development studio in Newcastle, UK, creating thirty new jobs in the city and augmenting its offices in London, Berlin and Bilbao, Spain.

The tech sector in the north east of England is reportedly growing twice as fast as the rest of the economy, according to a new report by Tech Nation. Newcastle has one of the fastest growing tech communities outside of London and is already home to gaming companies such as Mkodo, Bede Gaming, Ubisoft and Epic Games.

Newcastle has more than 44,000 people working within the creative, digital and tech industry. With 50,000 STEM students studying locally, companies have access to an impressive talent pool.

Helen Walton, chief commercial officer at Gamevy, said: “We’re delighted to be opening a hub in this vibrant city – and finding so many highly talented people with a passion for innovation. Recruitment is a challenge for every tech business, but Gamevy’s unique approach to how we work – with no set hierarchy or job roles – really seems to appeal to the independent spirit of Newcastle! We’re looking forward to welcoming our first hire to the Gamevy team.”
