“I am absolutely delighted to be joining the team at Aykroyds and to be managing their licensed product portfolio moving forward,” Robyn commented. “I have long admired and respected Aykroyds and the people who work there so am excited to get started. I am passionate about driving brand extensions, forging new partnerships as well as nurturing existing relationships and am eager to contribute to their continued success and growth.”

In addition, Craig Moore (pictured above right) brings over 20 years of sales and licensing experience to his new role as head of sales. Craig joins from Fashion UK where he held the role of head of UK sales.

He commented: “Aykroyds is a long established licensee with a wide portfolio of licences, they have best in class design and I am thrilled to be joining such an amazing team. We have ambitions growth plans for 2024 and beyond and, as head of sales, I am excited to start building a retail and sales strategy to achieve these ambitious goals, continuing with the phenomenal growth and success the team have already achieved.”
