A century of board games and sustainability with Kate Gibson
Running a company can be all fun and games when you're in the business of jigsaw puzzles and Sherlock Holmes board games. For Kate Gibson, managing director of Gibsons Games, this blend of heritage, creativity and entertainment makes leading the London-based games company a unique and fulfilling experience. 'We're lucky we do something that is fun,' Gibson said. 'There's nothing like being involved in the start of a puzzle or a game. What's it going to be like? What's the packaging going to be like? And actually seeing that on the shelf, it's a really incredible feeling.' Gibsons Games was founded in 1919 by Harry Percy Gibson, her great-grandfather, and has remained a family-run business for more than a century. The company recorded almost £6 million in sales in 2024 and recently expanded into the US market, where it launched jigsaw puzzles in Barnes & Noble, the US bookshop company.
