AAA titles including Far Cry, Little Big Planet and Forza were all developed in a slice of rural Warwickshire known in the industry as “the silicon spa”. One in every 50 people in Leamington works for a games developer, and the industry contributes over £100m to local GDP. So how did a small town in the Midlands become a miniature Silicon Valley?

“It’s like something out of a fairytale,” says Jordan Erica Webber, a games journalist who has been living in Leamington for the last ten years. “The story goes in the 80s there were two pairs of brothers, the Darling brothers and the Oliver twins, who started out making games in their bedrooms as teenagers and eventually managed to start their own companies.”

In 1986, the Darlings founded Codemasters, which became one of the early pioneers in the UK gaming scene. The Olivers, who initially worked at Codemasters, would go on to set up their own company, Blitz Games. “These companies grew and grew and grew, and then at a certain point they started to splinter off and the people who left – having gained experience at Codemasters and Blitz – would form their own studios, and those studios would splinter and so on,” says Webber. That splintering is integral to a growing sector where smaller startup studios make up 99.5 per cent of UK games companies and generate the vast majority of the sector’s economic output.

What should I do if someone approaches me for money?

We feel it is your own decision whether to give money or not. However, there are several other ways to make a difference that might have a longer-term, positive impact. Depending on how much time you have, here are a few thoughts…

• Less than 1 minute?
  Say hello. If you don’t wish to give money simply say ‘Sorry, I don’t give money’ or ‘I’m sorry, I donate via Meaningful Change’ (or another Charity).
• If you have 1 minute
  Find out if they are aware of the support services available in the town centre and let them know how to access them.
• If you have 5 minutes
  Have a short conversation. If you are buying a sandwich or drink for yourself, you might offer them the same.
• A little longer?
  Sharing lunch can provide a powerful boost to a person and greater insight into issues for yourself.
