Karl Jeffery, CEO at Climax was understandably delighted: "Being nominated for 5 awards is fantastic news and is recognition of how the company has gone from strength-to-strength over the last couple years. I can't think of a better way to celebrate our fifteenth year in the industry than to be nominated for these awards. It proves that we're doing things right, and I'm exceptionally proud of the way the company has emerged from the recent tough times as a fitter, larger and more versatile business."

Sponsored by respected magazine, Develop, the Industry Excellence Awards have been initiated to reward the talent, innovation and imagination behind games and game technology. The inaugural awards ceremony will be held at Royal Garden Hotel in Kensington on August 27th.
