Presentation
Steve Bell
Good morning, everybody, and welcome to our 2023 Full Year Results Presentation. It's fantastic to see so many of you here face to face. From talking to Mark, this is the first time we've done a face-to-face presentation for a number of years. So, thanks ever so much for everybody that's joined in the room itself and also on the webcast itself. I know there's a number of people who are dialing in to listen to the presentation that we've got.
Although I've met a number of you in the room already and a number of people who have dialed in, there's a number of people that I won't have actually met. So, I just want to do a very brief introduction to myself in terms of what I've done historically and also why Team 17 Group is such an exciting opportunity for me as an individual.
So, my name is Steve Bell. I took over officially from Debbie Bestwick, who I know a number of you will know very, very well over the years. So, I took over from Debbie on the 1st January this year, so three and half months in to being the Group CEO of the business.
And prior to my time or prior to joining Team17, I actually worked within the world of brand communication, advertising, CRM, digital media. So, I founded and grew a group of companies in the advertising networks. We actually sold our business to Samsung about four years ago. So, we've got very good understanding of the world of brand advertising, communication, and the power of brands. But a number of people actually asked me the question when I joined Team17, why have you gone from the world of marketing communications to computer games?
And it was a pretty easy decision for me if I'm being honest with you. As soon as I met Debbie and the rest of the board and I started to understand the power of the brands and the IP that Team17 Group had, the ambition that the business had and also the talent it had, then it was a no brainer. I wanted to be part of this business, and I'm so excited to be leading the charge in terms of the business moving forward at a time when I think there are huge opportunities within the gaming world.
So, I'm just going to give a very brief intro to my sort of perspectives of Team17 in the gaming world. I'm going to talk about the Indie marketplace and more importantly, I'm going to talk about our strategy moving forward and the importance of a simple strategy to make sure we generate the growth that I think we can deliver.
So, what's my perspective? Three and half months into the role officially. Well, you don't need me to tell you how competitive, fast-paced and dynamic the computer games world is. 2023 was a brutal year for gaming, more games launches than ever before. And I think the thing that really jumped out for me is that Indie is a fantastic space to play....
