Majesco Entertainment Company has announced that Birmingham-based Centresoft will exclusively distribute its catalogue to retail in the UK. Commencing with immediate effect, the deal strengthens Majesco’s 2009 sales activity, which sees a catalogue packed with mainstream products on both handheld and console.

Margeret Pearson, Commercial Director, Centresoft: “We are pleased to represent Majesco at retail. Majesco has a great line-up of products for 2009 and we are delighted that this ambitious publisher has recognised the value that CentreSoft can bring to its business in the UK.”

Jason Dutton, Managing Director, Majesco Europe, comments “Partnering with Centresoft gives us the solid paths to retail we need to build on our presence in the UK market. We’ve got over thirty titles launching throughout 2009, including hugely significant licenses such as the official tie-in for Twentieth Century Fox’s highly-anticipated Night at the Museum 2, so our distribution network absolutely needs to be world class.
