SouthPeak/CentreSoft deal
UK distribution sorted out.
Leicester, February 20th – SouthPeak is today pleased to announce it has signed an exclusive deal with CentreSoft and PDQ. This will see the Birmingham-based distributors of interactive entertainment handling primary and secondary distribution of SouthPeak’s products in the UK. Taking effect immediately, the partnership kicks off with all-action title X-Blades, which is set for release on February 20th.
CentreSoft and PDQ will be handling the distribution of SouthPeak’s back catalogue – including the hugely successful fantasy RPG Two Worlds – and its exciting range of forthcoming titles. This features the explosive Big Bang Mini on Nintendo DS™; quirky platformer Mushroom Men – The Spore Wars on Wii™ and the chilling survival horror Dementium for Nintendo DS.
“Having personally worked closely with CentreSoft and PDQ for many years, there’s no doubting their prominence within the independent sector and their will and desire to drive business through the national account base,” said Felix Bradshaw, European Sales Director, SouthPeak Interactive. “We have a stellar line-up for 2009 and beyond, so it was important for us to choose a powerful outfit to maximise reach and potential. We very much look forward to working together.”
Margaret Pearson, Commercial Director at CentreSoft added: “SouthPeak Interactive is an ambitious, rapidly growing, international publishing force which requires strong support at retail to enable the company to continue its growing brand. CentreSoft and PDQ are delighted to be working with SouthPeak and we are confident that this is a relationship which will deliver remarkable results.”
