SWP specialist FatSpanner has appointed Jamie Parkinson, formerly of Games Warehouse, as sales executive to help further its ambitions of expansion within the highly competitive sector.

The appointment is consistent with FatSpanner’s ambition of becoming one of the market leading SWP terminal and content providers and is unlikely to be the last as the company looks to exploit the rising popularity of its OPEN terminals.

General manager Clive Barrett said: "It’s great to welcome Jamie to the company. We’ve been looking to strengthen the sales team for some time now and to bring on board somebody with the industry experience and contacts he has is a real bonus. OPEN is enjoying a real rise in popularity and we have a great chance to significantly increase market share. Ee need to exploit the situation to the full and Jamie is a vital part of that."

Parkinson himself added: "FatSpanner is an exciting company, very customer focused with a refreshing view of the industry. I’d been looking for a new challenge for some time and this position is perfect."
