TIGA, the UK trade association for the games industry, yesterday held an important event at the House of Commons in London.

The meeting was designed to promote the growth of the UK games industry and was attended by many important figures from our line of work, including Kwalee CMO, Bruce Everiss.

There was a lunch held in the Churchill Dining Room in the House of Commons, followed by drinks at the nearby Red Lion pub. The experience was a glimpse into British history and a chance to see inside Westminster Hall, which was built in 1097 and has been central in much of England’s history.

Through events like these, the video game industry in the UK can achieve the political presence it needs to continue to compete and grow on the world stage versus the likes of the USA, Canada and Japan. Kwalee is going to be right there with them.
