WARWICKSHIRE MEANS BUSINESS

Arch Creatives success story continues with expansion

A co-working space for games developers in Leamington Spa continues to go from strength to strength following expansion.

Arch Creatives, based in Court Street, has doubled its office space to allow room for more developers.

The project, which received funding from Warwick District Council and Warwickshire County Council to initially get up and running, provides a base from which games developers and other digital creatives can work and receive training and business support.

The not-for-profit venture, based in a renovated Victorian railway arch in the south of the town, was launched in the spring of 2014. Since then it has helped its occupants to reinforce the district's reputation as 'Silicon Spa,' a leader in the games field.

Arch Creatives members include Modern Dream (creators of LA Cops) and Team Lumo (Lumo Deliveries), who recently received new investment which has been used to expand its art and development teams into the new space.

"The Arch collective doubling in the space of a year has exceeded even our expectations," said Arch Creatives co-founder Ollie Clarke.

"We are eternally grateful for the support provided by the Warwick District Council and Warwickshire County Council, along with industry bodies UKIE, BAFTA and industry games legend SEGA."
