Northern Lights Gaming names Ed Pattman as Head of Studio

Popular online slot developer, Northern Lights Gaming, has continued to shake up its management team with the appointment of Ed Pattman as Head of Studio. 

Ed has been with Northern Lights Gaming from day one, co-founding the company alongside Andrew Goodale back in 2017. Andrew recently left the studio to pursue new opportunities, with Chris Loftus taking over as CEO.

Ed has been pivotal in Northern Lights Gaming becoming the content powerhouse that it is today. Starting with a small office and two-person team, the studio now has a team of more than 30 and a portfolio of 40+ titles, including the hugely popular Unusual Suspects series.

Most recently, Ed has been working in the Game Producer role, overseeing the entire game development process. This includes taking each game from initial concept to final release, something he will continue to do as Head of Studio.

He will also be responsible for the developer’s creative and production teams, ensuring Northern Lights Gaming continues to deliver the quality and innovation it’s become known for.

Ed will be supported by Scott Newby, who takes on the role of Head of Games with expanded responsibility for leading the studio’s creative vision and product strategy.

Chris Loftus, CEO at Northern Lights Gaming, said: “Ed is one of the most talented and experienced game producers in the industry and has been a driving force behind some of the most successful titles in our portfolio.  

“As Head of Studio, Ed will continue to play a hands-on role in the development of our games, while also overseeing our creative and production teams to ensure we continue to innovate and deliver quality games for operators and players.  

“Northern Lights now has an incredibly strong senior team in place to lead the business forward, and with some truly epic games rolling off our production line in the coming months.”  

Ed Pattman, Head of Studio at Northern Lights Gaming, added: “I’m so proud of what Northern Lights Gaming has achieved over the last eight years and couldn’t be happier stepping into the role of Head of Studio.  

“It means I get to enjoy my passion for producing thrilling slot games while also contributing to the direction and growth of the studio that I co-founded with Andrew back in 2017.  

“Andrew may have departed, but with a new management team in place, we will absolutely continue with our original mission to create epic slot games that put players on the edge of their seats, spin after spin.”
