Tommy Nasser is the new head of UK sales and used games for Bandai Namco Amusement Europe (BNAE), it was announced last week.
Nasser is a 26-year veteran of the British company, having joined it in 1998 as a customer service assistant, rising to general manager at Namco Funscape in Luton in 2007.
He moved on to help launch the company’s Funscape Metrocentre branch in 2009 and then in 2016 Nasser moved to Trafford where he grew the venue into the group’s best-performing location outside of Japan.
He will now switch his focus to directing and implementing the wider UK sales strategy and playing a pivotal role in powering further market growth. Nasser is with the BNAE team at the EAG expo this week at ExCeL.
James Anderson, commercial and sales director, said: “Tommy steps into this new role after a rich career with us. He has been an integreal part of the Bandai Namco family for many years and has celebrated a number of significant successes.
"His leadership of our Trafford site demonstrates his indisputable impact on driving growth.”
