A fast-growing Internet games firm has moved into the Harwell Innovation Centre, writes David Duffy.

Hi2 was purchased by management buy-out from Cable and Wireless in 1996. The company has trebled in size since and currently employs 20 people.

Hi2 is the developer of an Internet games channel, which is carried by leading Internet Service Providers around the world.

After bursting the seams of its former premises in Wantage last July, the firm has moved to Harwell.

Technical director and co-founder of Hi2 David Wainwright said an estimated 30 million people play on-line games each day.
