What are some of your current successful brands?

“We approach each of our brands with individual attention and our current successes include My Little Pony, Monster and Ever After High, How to Train Your Dragon and we are the owners of the Enid Blyton Estate.”

What do you look for in a licence?

“I look for a licence with longevity and love all the retro brands which are making a comeback. I am excited about the opportunities for Enid Blyton and turning this into a successful global brand.”
