Signing a partner with the pedigree of Pinnacle is an indicator of what we wish to achieve with this brand,” said Kalypso Media UK managing director Jonathan Hales.

After carefully considering how to proceed in our new UK venture and taking into account their considerable experience in the games sector, Pinnacle stood out as a natural choice for our distribution needs.”

Managing director of Pinnacle Software Peter Sleeman added: Having known Jonathan at Codemasters, and his reputation in the business, we had no hesitation in tendering for the opportunity to work with Kalypso, whose range has some genuine stand out titles.”
