about us | the team

Nigel Scarfe

Hi, I’m Nigel Scarfe. I started this company on an idea that there were lots of kids out there that felt the same way about school that I used to. I wanted to enjoy myself there but found it difficult. Many of the lessons went over my head but I knew I wasn’t daft, I just needed to find something that sparked my Imagination. Games switched that light on for me.

Now we are bringing a huge range of games from all over the world to a new audience that loves them. They’re cool and exciting but challenging and thought provoking. We make sure we link carefully with the curriculum and help children engage in the daily school lives but it’s about young people and families enjoying themselves. Hopefully you’ll get chance to meet us one day and join in one of our activities and see for yourself.

Chris Standley

Hi there, I’m Chris and I have been a partner in Imagination Gaming for 2 years now.

Aside from a pretty good under 11 Chess career, it’s only relatively recently that I have re-discovered the joy of games and real life benefits that playing them can have for all people young and old, from all walks of life.

You’ll find me putting my enthusiasm for using games at all kinds of Imagination Gaming events, and you can talk to me about all aspects of the business as well, as I find myself knee deep in most of it on a daily basis!

I look forward to meeting you and playing some games with you soon

Hi, I’m Kevin and a recent addition to the team. Older and balder but no less enthusiastic about what games have to offer in the wider community.

Buried deep in the South East of England far away from my northern friends I have the exciting challenge of building Imagination Gaming at this end of the country. With a background in Financial Services and IT, to see the delight on the faces of a group of children learning whilst playing brings a value that is hard to measure.

Modern games offer a powerful tool that can be used, yes with our youth but also more widely with community groups and within the care situation. A tool that at once both challenges and delights, bringing people together, engages our youth and helps keep the grey matter ticking at the other end of the spectrum.
