Mark Jepp is overseeing the rising of a pheonix at Game Nation and what would really help, he claims, would be a Triennial Review. His hopes are not high, and neither are his views on the current government’s performance. A stakes & prizes rise could change fortunes all round.

I’m confident in what we can continue to achieve at Game Nation. I’m less confident about the broader economy as long as Labour and Keir Starmer are running the show.

Ultimately, we need a thriving economy to take our business to the next level. 

New regulation or legislation feels inevitable and hopefully manageable, but as I’ve said on many occasions, what the industry desperately needs is a triennial review. That will be key to unlocking sustainable growth for the sector.
