New UK distributor formed

Two industry veterans have formed a new games distribution company, Solid Gold Games.

Andrew Blumson and Russell Clark have set up the new company after more than a year away from the games industry. The two previously founded Just Distribution.

Solid Gold Games will specialise in newly-released software and ‘closeout’ products, working in conjunction with other UK and European distributors.

We have kept in touch with many of the people who we have worked with over the last 18 years, and feel now is the right time to re-enter the games market,” said Solid Gold co-founder Blumson.

There have obviously been a lot of changes in the trade during the last 12 months but we know there is room for another focused player.

The time we’ve taken out has given us the chance to view the industry from a different angle – there are still areas with huge potential, which are obviously being missed by current distribution channels.”
