43‭ ‬jobs have been saved at Free Radical Design following Crytek’s successful acquisition of the group.‭ 

“The sale was relatively easy for us to achieve,‭” ‬says Cameron Gunn,‭ ‬administrator at Resolve Partners,‭ “‬there were several interested parties in the end,‭ ‬and we had to auction the business.‭”

Crytek,‭ ‬the highest bidder,‭ ‬will now add‭ ‬43‭ ‬members to its workforce,‭ ‬a number which Gunn confirms were the skeleton-crew who stayed on at the company after it was subjected to over‭ ‬140‭ ‬layoffs and resignations.‭

“It’s excellent news,‭ ‬we’ve sold to someone who wants to invest in the business locally,‭ ‬so we’re extremely pleased with the results.‭”
 
“The sale is a testament to the quality of the employees and the great reputation the company had built-up in the market-place over the last several years.‭ ‬Without that,‭ ‬the company would have been a difficult sale to gain.‭”

The last time Edge spoke to Gunn,‭ ‬he explained there was a‭ ‬significant level of interest in the group.
