Gfinity Chairman Neville Upton commented: “The team has diligently implemented the new strategic direction that CEO John Clarke set out on his appointment in March 2020. The progress of this sharpened strategy and operational focus can now be seen in the Company’s financial performance.
“This was achieved against the backdrop of continued COVID-19 restrictions, which impacted client and publisher spend. I would like to take the opportunity to thank our colleagues for their continued hard work and dedication during this period to deliver such a resilient performance.”
Esports Insider says: Gfinity has been a staple of UK esports and gaming for a while, and the company’s recent results show that the brand is still going strong. Reducing losses and increasing revenue while hiring new executives and acquiring new companies shows that Gfinity is heading in the right direction in balancing its books – an elusive mission in esports.
