In a strategic move to support their corporate development and growth in the games sector, Creature Labs announced the appointment of David Clipsham.
Creature Labs’ Cambridge studios have won worldwide recognition for their acclaimed, million-selling Creatures and James Pond computer games and their proprietary “CyberLife” artificial life technology is used to create life-like and believable characters and living virtual environments across a wide range of entertainment media.
Clipsham, brings a wealth of experience in retail and the entertainment industry. As the former head of Our Price and Waterstone’s, Clipsham’s retail experience helped Game Plc, the highly successful video game retail chain, increase its turnover from £20m to £85m.
