Company merger in Jersey's e-Gaming sector

Wednesday 15 June 2016

Two Jersey technology businesses have merged to form a new eGaming company. Twelve40 have combined their operations with software platform architects and web designers Indigo Code Collective. They now all work under the Twelve40 brand.

From their head office in Jersey, Twelve40 will concentrate on using technology to deliver platforms for lottery and interactive games content to operators on a global scale.

The merger has attracted two senior appointments to join the already established teams. Former Director of Digital Jersey, Andrew Jarrett, has been appointed CEO. Nigel Renouf, formally of Calligo, joins as Business Development Director.

Twelve40 says that Andrew Jarrett handled the successful launch of eGaming for the Island as Director of Digital Jersey, curated and presented Jersey’s first Fintech conference and was instrumental in driving Jersey’s digital and Fintech agenda.

In his new role, he will focus on engaging markets and taking them from physical lotteries to delivering online content. He will be working with operators, local governments, clubs and country lotteries to deliver seamless online solutions, whilst enabling foundations and charitable organisations to benefit from funds raised.

The company says that Business Development Director Nigel Renouf has worked with clients across the globe providing multi-jurisdictional Cloud Solutions and has spent over a decade working in the data-center and online gaming sector.

In his new role, Mr. Renouf will be focusing on client relations and development of the international business pipeline.

Twelve40 became the first operator to be granted a remote gambling operator’s Licence by the Jersey Gambling Commission in 2015. The licence allows Twelve40 to base its systems in Jersey and licence its software to customers around the world. Working in collaboration with Indigo Code Collective, they developed and launched Islands Lotto.

Andrew Jarrett, CEO, Twelve40, says:

"The merger of Twelve40 and Indigo Code Collective is an important milestone in Jersey’s digital vision. This cohesion delivers a strong team with global export prospects and ambition.

"Our sophisticated platform is built using the very latest technology and is already attracting worldwide attention. Nigel and I will be focusing on globalising this platform and working with chosen partners to deliver digital innovation in the sector whilst adding value to good causes."
