UK – Herbert buys back assets of JPM International
By Phil - 4 November 2013
The future of JPM has been secured after it was revealed that Group owner Simon Herbert, has signed an agreement to buy back the assets of JPM International which was recently placed into voluntary liquidation.
Synonymous with the UK coin-op industry and prestigious game development throughout Europe for more than 40 years, the bold move guarantees JPM’s continued long term future.
Re-iterating his commitment to JPM and its customers, Simon Herbert revealed his intentions pledging: “I believe in JPM and am determined it will remain not only a symbol of the UK Coin-Op industry, but gaming in general.
“I have purchased the assets of JPM International with the sole intention of continuing its product development in the best JPM tradition and safeguarding its future. This is a brand which has an illustrious past and a bright future,” he promised.
Welcomed by the industry as ‘very good news’, JPM now enjoys a strong position from which it can take advantage of opportunities created by the recent Triennial Review in the UK while also capitalising on international developments.
