Former Amazon exec sets up games retailer

Ex-Amazon finance director John Pollard has launched his own online video game retail website.

According to the Lancashire Telegraph, Playgamesuk.com is based in Preston Road in Ribchester and Pollard hopes to double his company’s 1 million turnover.

They basically sold games they no longer wanted and it proved so popular that we began speaking to distributors about selling various accessories as well," said Pollard.

In the end, we started selling new Nintendo Wii games on eBay and other stock we had imported from America, until we became so busy that we decided to create our own website, and that’s how Playgamesuk.com came into being.”
