OPMjobs Partnership with MCV/DEVELOP’s 30 Under 30

Everything is bit mad at the moment, and I find myself distracted by the uncertainty we’re all faced with.  Thankfully, I could at least rely on the MCV/Develop 30 under 30 list to cheer me up!

We’re always proud to partner with MCV/Develop on this initiative, and this year’s list was again full of talented people from all areas of the games industry. I’m over the moon to see my fellow Safe in Our World trustee, Imogen Beresford-Bone make the list. Much like everyone in the final 30, her place was truly deserved! Find the full list and their profiles on the MCV/Develop website.

If anyone would like to join me on my ’I want a 50 over 50’ campaign get in touch and I’ll start getting signs made. Assuming there’s enough of us left in the industry of course!
