A real blast from the past... in 2002 we launched Dance Mats which were compatible with the PlayStation 2 and we sold over 1 million!

We manufactured and sold licensed Nintendo Flip and Play cases for Nintendo DS. There were 5 colours to choose from and these were especially good for playing Nintendogs and Brain Training on the go!

SEPTEMBER - 2019
We wanted to create a good quality and affordable headset for gamers, thus, our Sabre Stereo Gaming headset was born.

Both Sony and Microsoft launched the latest consoles: The Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5. We got to work, and designed a brand new docking station for both consoles which aligned aesthetically to match the gaming set up.
2021
We started off our LED range with the Colour Changing LED stand for the Xbox Series X.
2022
After the launch of the Xbox version, we got busy developing a Colour Changing LED stand for the PS5!

My role has changed so much in the 4 years I’ve worked for Venom where I started off as a customer services operator. I’m now the customer services manager, I’m involved in the product development process and now the blog (with so much more in between!).

I joined the company in 2018 after hearing about the position from an ex colleague. I love the diversity of skills needed such as packaging and product design, photography, video editing, design for advertising, marketing and social media. Creative elements are required in so many areas of the business I’m never bored!

I run all things marketing here at Venom. I love that my role is different every day. One minute I could be working on the next promo with our fabulous brand sponsors, posting some great social content, or even writing up the next blog. I get to see the products come to life and launch these in market which is amazing.
