Finalist

Masters Traditional Games started in early 1999 as an internet shop selling only traditional English Pub games. The owner,
was determined to make sure that old classics such as Shove Ha'penny, Aunt Sally and Skittles were made available. Many such
games are only produced by cottage industries or obscure sources not available to the general public. It proved such a success that
the portfolio was soon expanded to include a variety of traditional board games and classic table games. It was also in this initial
phase that we started our long term relationship working with Jaques of London, the oldest games company in the world.

From the outset, Masters Games has concentrated on quality games and quality service. Key suppliers for us are Dal Negro,
Garden Games, Giglio, Cornilleau and Garlando, all of whom are well-known leaders in their field producing premium well-made
games. But in order to provide many of the unusual traditional games that are unique to us, we also obtain games from tiny
craft-shops, import games from overseas and manufacture several games ourselves.

Another founding principle has been that all our games will be made available globally and not just within the UK. Accordingly
the website shopping basket has some complex and and unique algorithms for determining multiple options for sending each
game to the customer's chosen destination and always tries to choose the most cost-effective method wherever you are in the world.

Over subsequent years, our gaming portfolio has grown to include Table Tennis Tables, Football Tables, Snooker, Pool, Croquet,
Bowls, Bridge, Cribbage, Chess, Backgammon, Poker, card games, Dominoes and fun games for the garden to name but a few. We
also specialise in historical games and classic games from other parts of the world such as Mah Jong, Carrom, Go, Kubb, Crokinole and
Sjoelbak. The business has a zero debt policy and almost all sales are generated by word-of-mouth and from free Internet searches.
These underlying principles and a genuine honest and helpful approach has meant consistent revenue growth for 10 straight years.
