# Restart World: Gaming Consultancy Description
Restart World is a London-based gaming consultancy founded in 2014 by Gwilym Hughes, a veteran with over 15 years' industry experience including senior roles at SEGA and Miniclip. The firm specialises in helping gaming companies and studios clarify objectives, optimise operations and deliver commercially successful products.
The business serves game development studios, publishers and gaming companies seeking strategic guidance and operational improvement. Their client roster includes established names like Miniclip, Nitrome and Kama Games, who value their hands-on approach and deep industry knowledge.
What distinguishes Restart World is their pragmatic, five-phase methodology that moves beyond theoretical consulting. Rather than delivering reports and disappearing, they embed themselves in the problem-solving process—from initial strategy definition through to product evaluation and iterative design refinement. Their approach accommodates flexible team structures, recognising that solutions might leverage in-house talent, external contractors or hybrid arrangements.
Clients consistently praise their actionable insights and production support. Testimonials highlight their ability to strengthen internal processes, introduce business discipline to creative teams, and provide clarity on complex strategic decisions. They're particularly valued for helping studios think commercially without stifling creativity—a rare balance in games consulting.
Operating globally whilst maintaining UK roots, they combine accessible local partnership with international perspective, making them genuinely useful to both emerging studios and established publishers navigating industry challenges.
