7^th May 2008, Leamington Spa, UK

The Virtual Experience Company (VEC) announced today that it will be separating from Blitz Games Studios at the end of May. Mike Gogan founded VEC nine years ago and it became part of Blitz Games Studios at the end of 2006, in order to explore more fully the different technologies favoured by the cultural heritage sector, Gogan has decided to buy the company back and to run it independently from 1st June 2008 of this year.

The Virtual Experience Company has always pushed the limits of technology within the cultural heritage sector and in addition to collaborating on projects with Blitz, the company will also be forming partnerships with other relevant bodies, such as the Serious Games Institute at Coventry University.

Philip Oliver, CEO of Blitz Games Studios commented , "Mike is a well respected leader in his field and we wish Mike and The Virtual Experience company all the best for the future."

Mike Gogan added, "Being part of Blitz Games Studios has been a great experience and has allowed VEC to gain from the company's cutting edge technology and expertise in gaming. Whilst VEC will now be independent of Blitz, there'll still be a good working relationship between the two companies."

Blitz Games Studios Ltd will be transferring all IP, assets and other material relating to The Virtual Experience Company projects.
