Team17 Group plc is a British video game developer and publisher based in Wakefield, England that was created in December 1990 when British publisher 17-Bit Software and Swedish developer Team 7 merged. At the time, the two companies were led by Michael Robinson, Martyn Brown and Debbie Bestwick, and Andreas Tadic, Rico Holmes and Peter Tuleby. Bestwick later became Team17's CEO. After their first game, Full Contact (1991) for the Amiga, the studio made more number-one releases on that platform and saw big success with Andy Davidson's Worms in 1995.
