Adds Andrew Oliver: “I’m hugely flattered that the games industry is being recognised by the membership of such a significant organisation as providing a contribution to the cultural and business landscape of Britain. I hope to work with other Fellows to continue to push the awareness of the creative and technological boundaries of this exciting business.”
