Dreamtex’s Andy Downie on a successful summer, expanding seasonal ranges such as The Grinch and a Wicked welcome.
LicensingSource.net catches up with a selection of licensees across key categories to find out their summer successes and what they see as the highlights and challenges as we enter the ‘golden quarter’ of 2024.
Today: Andy Downie, commercial director, Dreamtex.
“The summer was very busy, with our biggest achievements including our Disney’s Stitch collection and our Bluey range. As the Euros came to an end, we were delighted to have supplied our Official FA collection to retailers such as Aldi, Lidl and The Range. As we head into Q4, we’re excited to launch our Wicked home décor collection. This is the most anticipated movie of 2024, and we’re so proud to be part of the consumer products programme.
Along with Wicked, we’ll be expanding our seasonal ranges, including The Grinch, which continues to grow each year. We’ll also be rolling out Christmas collections for Bluey and Stitch. Challenges we have faced this summer are shipping issues which have tightened timings. However, we remain resilient and positive for the upcoming months.”
