European Games and DVD etailer URwired.com has stopped trading.

According to Mattias Lamotte, URwired MD, the company couldn't get funding in time. "Ironincally we had some exciting deals in the pipeline with some big name companies which we were unable to sign because of our financial situation," he said.

The dream ended at 3.00pm 17 August. Twenty-four staff have been laid off. ®
