Robert Small, CEO of Miniclip. Rob Small and his business partner Tihan Presbie created games site Miniclip. While online companies collapsed around them, Miniclip thrived. Having secured the elusive ‘tween’ (10-16 year-olds) audience, the advertisers flocked to the site in droves.

Next month, Small will go on to compete against award-winners from Scotland, Wales and England in the tenth national Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year awards, which take place on October 6.

Subscriptions to paid-for games as well as sponsorship from film makers who pay Miniclip to create games round their latest releases – such as Spider-man and Pirates of the Caribbean – make up other significant chunks of Miniclip’s income. It is a profitable.
