I am delighted to have come to Mobile Fun at such an exciting time, with the imminent launch of our new website dedicated to gaming accessories. Not only will GamingZap extend our successful presence within the electronic accessories market, it will also provide an unrivalled range of peripherals and accessories for the pro and hard-core gamer, many of which will be exclusive to GamingZap customers.”
Alex will report directly to Mohammed Hussain, Managing Director at Mobile Fun, who commented on the new hire: “Alex’s appointment is pivotal to our aggressive growth plan.
