TechLink Head Wants Meeting With Community Leaders

by Dave DesveauxJune 2, 2015

The head of gaming technology company TechLink is calling on local businesspeople and politicians to come to a meeting tomorrow to discuss the Sydney company’s closure.

TechLink suspended operations on Friday, throwing about 30 people out of work.

However, company founder and chief executive John Xidos says in a news release the situation is “resolvable with the right level of understanding, co-operation and support among key parties.

The company has received millions of dollars in government funding during its 20 years of operations.

Xidos says the closure was caused by financial shortfalls but hasn’t been available to speak with local media to elaborate.
