Our clients say
Don't just take our word for it...
Fran Mulhern
Talent Acquisition Director Lockwood Publishing Ltd"Chris is an incredible relationship builder. He thrives on honesty within a supportive framework, and he’s easily one of the best people I’ve ever met. He knows the industry inside out and has a knack of thinking laterally to come up with creative solutions and ideas. In twenty years in video games, I can honestly say I don’t think I’ve come across a more people centred and down to earth individual, one who simply wants you to succeed."
Zsombor Pirok Hughes
Managing DirectorSpace Rock Games"Chris is an absolute trooper and can open up doors for you left and right, be it in the external development space, publishing or game fundraising. He is methodical and very well connected - but even if he is not well connected with someone, you can be sure as hell he will be in a few weeks.".png)
Lisa Carter
Director Mimram Media“I first met Chris in February 2000, when we were both working in games trade media. Over the past twenty-plus years, I’ve watched him grow from a driven commercial lead into one of the most connected and credible business development professionals in the games ecosystem. What has remained constant throughout that time is his instinct for people. As an editor and now a business owner, I’ve spent three decades assessing character, reputation and substance. Chris has always understood that this industry runs on relationships, but he has never treated them transactionally. He invests properly in them. His background in games B2B media gave him a rare vantage point across the sector, and he has translated that perspective into a business that is structured, thoughtful and grounded in integrity. He prepares, he researches, he follows through. When Chris introduces two parties, it is done with care and intent, not volume for the sake of it. Hub and Spoke Games reflects the same qualities I saw in him at the beginning of his career: clarity of communication, commercial awareness, and a genuine commitment to helping others succeed. In an industry that has seen enormous change over the past two decades, Chris has remained consistent in the way that matters most: he shows up, he does the work, and he stands by his word.”
