This week, we speak to Pinpoint’s product development manager Tom Armstrong… What products does Pinpoint CE provide? Pinpoint Consumer Electronics has been around since early 2000. We provide the latest cutting edge technology, value added and care/maintenance products – all designed to enhance the gamers’ experience. We have three major brands – Nyko, Enigma and SkipDr – and partner with many other companies to bring the correct products to market. Tell us something we didn’t know about Pinpoint. We have Mike Skinner from the Streets working for us. Actually that’s not true but he is called Mike Skinner and he was in The Damned for a while and worked on a live album with them.
What are your hopes for Christmas and Q4? We have very high hopes for Q4. The year so far has been challenging but successful. We anticipate our new lines will continue to sell well and we shall continue to support our partners to maximise sales and retail presence.

What is the best thing about your job? Wondering which godawful shirt our Mike Skinner will wear into the office next. Sorry, I misread the question – that’s actually the worst part of my job. Best part would be working in the most vibrant, exciting industry going. Most entertainment industries only get major changes every ten years or so – we get them all the time.
