How little Leamington became a global player in gaming

The Silicon Spa cluster has 40 video gaming companies, including some of the biggest names. But the game is far from won

Approximately 75% of the digital media companies in Leamington are gaming companies. It is known as the Silicon Spa.

This games cluster grew out of the success of games developer and publisher Codemasters - which really was a trailblazer - and then Blitz Games Studios. Other companies moved or set up here to be near those companies. As the businesses thrived, some staff left to set up on their own but stayed local.
