UK-based recruitment company One Player Mission (OPM) is closing its doors.

In a post on its website, managing director Kim Parker Adcock announced that the firm was going to cease trading. She said that this is due to the "difficulties" in the games industry right now and OPM being unable to remain profitable.

"I understand the impact this decision has on our employees, clients, candidates and partners, and I can only apologise for any disruption this might cause," Parker Adcock wrote.

"During this difficult time, we will strive to minimise disruption and ensure a smooth transition to all involved. The management team is committed to providing assistance and information to employees, clients, and partners as we navigate through this challenging period.

"I want to express our deepest gratitude to everyone who has been part of the OPM community. Your support, dedication, and collaboration has been instrumental in making our journey what it was over the last 26 years. I’m immensely proud of the work we have accomplished together, for the shared memories and experiences."
