Profile

Games Workshop is one of the most remarkable Nottingham success stories in any sector: a global brand built on hand-sculpted miniatures, deep lore and an intensely loyal hobbyist community. Its vertically integrated model — design, manufacture, retail and direct-to-consumer — and its strong intellectual property licensing programme give Nottingham founders a vivid example of how creative and physical product businesses can compound value over decades.
