Double Eleven scores a hat trick at the NE Business Awards

Thursday Night, Double Eleven scooped three awards in the North East Business Awards. The awards included Small Business of the year, Newcomer of the year and Science & Technology business of the year.

“We were absolutely delighted at winning three separate awards, Lee and the others who began this company from his loft took a huge risk and got us to where we are today. In less than two short years we are a business with a sustainable competitive advantage in the industry. The business is led by a strong management team and powered by a highly technical development team giving us a unique position in the industry's global value chain’” said Kimberley Turner, finance director of Double Eleven.

The NE Business Awards, currently in their 13th year represent the region’s biggest and most prestigious business competition that highlights and rewards the success of the most outstanding firms over the last 12 months. Companies from all sectors were eligible to compete and as such Double Eleven faced strong competition for the honours, as the awards attracted over 280 entrants.

Jason Fitzpatrick of Virgin Money, sponsors of the Newcomer of the Year award, said on the night: “Double Eleven delivers an exciting product that delights its customers in its quality and creative design. They have spotted their niche in the market, do things that are a bit different and believe in themselves. We wish them well for an exciting future.”

Prof Cliff Hardcastle, Deputy Vice-Chancellor of Teesside University who sponsored the Science & Technology award, said “It’s fantastic to see such a young and dynamic technology company – founded and led by a Teesside graduate - performing so well. This is testament to the fact that Tees Valley has the talent, the ideas and the people to deliver real business success.”

Stephen Catchpole, Tees valley Unlimited’s managing director said;

“Double Eleven are a shining example of the skill, ambition and ingenuity that we have right here in Tees Valley.

They have shown how it is possible to not only operate but excel in an international market and are promoting the very best of Teesside across the highly competitive digital sector.

“This recognition holds them up as leaders in their field and as true ambassadors for the area.”

Lee Hutchinson, CEO said “Given the state of the overall economy and the general shrinkage of the the UK games industry, these awards help ratify our niche in these challenging times.”

“We are all still on cloud nine, and are certainly looking forward to the regional finals.”

Double Eleven will now move on and compete again in the regional finals on April 26.

Frozen Synapse: Tactics /// LittleBigPlanet PS Vita
5
The original Frozen Synapse was released in 2011, developed by indie studio Mode 7. It has since sold over 430,000 copies and received great critical acclaim, reaching an incredibly respectable score of 85 on Metacritic - including five stars from The Escapist and 9/10 from Edge.

We saw it as an excellent title to bring to PSN. Its revolutionary play style works exceptionally well in multiplayer, offering a whole new competitive model that is perfect for the Vita. Users can play multiple games concurrently, making it unlike any other online experience on the platform.

The single-player campaign has a deep and engrossing storyline and works as a great introduction to the skirmish and PvP modes. We believe it’s a great all-round game. Some of our team were playing it on lunch breaks before Mode 7 and ourselves had even began speaking about the potential for working on this project.

We don’t want to give too much away on what we plan to do with it, but ‘Frozen Synapse: Tactics’ is not simply a transition of the original onto console; we will be giving it a complete Double Eleven makeover.

It’s scheduled for release later in 2013, so keep an eye on our website and Facebook and Twitter pages for updates.
