Bangor Firm Wins Business In Germany

Backspindle Games, the Bangor-based developer of innovative board games, has been assisted by Invest Northern Ireland to win new business in Germany and other international markets.

The design company used Invest NI support to launch a new game, Luchador, at SPIEL 2013, the industry’s biggest trade exhibition, held annually in Essen. It secured a series of orders from enthusiasts as well as attracting interest from leading publishers.

Dr Vicky Kell, Invest NI Trade Director said: "Invest NI has a wide range of initiatives to help smaller companies trade on the international stage.

"The SOLEX scheme is designed to encourage and help a company to attend an international trade exhibition in its sector that fits with their export strategy and business plan. While we have an extensive programme of Invest NI stands at major international trade shows, it's not possible for us to have a presence at every event. SOLEX offers assistance towards travel, accommodation and stand costs at many other international events."
