Mercia Fund Management launches workspace for gaming start-ups

HENLEY-in-Arden investment group Mercia Fund Management (MFM), has created workspace targeted at early stage gaming businesses.

The workspace is at its Forward House head office in Henley.

Mercia recently enhanced the specialist gaming expertise within the business by appointing executives Mike Hayes, former CEO of SEGA and Nick Wheelwright, former CEO of Codemasters.

Hayes said. “Tenants at Forward House Workspace benefit from access to an established, knowledgeable and active investor in the games and digital market.

We’re offering well-equipped office space and unrivalled support for new and burgeoning business ventures in the UK gaming sector.”

Mercia Fund Management is looking to attract entrepreneurs who are at an early stage with scalable ideas even if they are not currently part of the venture capital fund investor’s portfolio.

Wheelwright described Forward House Workspace as “an exciting place to be for anyone in gaming, especially early-stage entrepreneurs”.
