Following a successful 2011 where Namco Prize Europe launched a number of key products into the market, including Shaun the Sheep plush and the KYOTO branded consumer electronics range that included products such as an HD video camera and a Google Android powered tablet PC, Namco Prize Europe is expanding its sales force.

Ola Bartkowska, previously a deputy manager at one of the Namco operations locations, joins the sales force of the division just in time for EAG 2012.

Bartkowska comments: "Having experience of buying prize products for Namco operations, I have dealt with a variety of suppliers and seen the diversity of quality of products available to the trade. I strongly believe in Namco as a brand providing high quality plush and prizes. We aim to look after our customers, their needs and expectations.

"I am excited to be joining the growing Namco Prize Europe division, which keeps proving itself with high quality goods and has an extensive line-up of new products for 2012 being unveiled at the forthcoming show."

James Anderson of the division went on to say: "Ola joining us is an integral part of our strategy moving forwards as the division grows. Her extensive operational knowledge is a great asset. Following her exceptional training and development in the operations side of the business by Namco operations she brings knowledge of which products work well and how to market them in machines or in ticket redemption centres to get the maximum returns for operators."
