[PaulG21]

Well, here are some:
Virgin Lands (http://www.virginlands.de) A Firm making videos for games, like "cultures2" (Germany)


Bohemia Interactive (http://www.bistudio.com) Making games like "Operation Flashpoint" (Czech Republik)

I don't know any English Firm, sorry, but I'll look for one!

Well, you can also look at Codemasters (http://www.codemasters.com) , it's in the UK also!
