Rainbow Designs readies licensed lines for Toymaster

Winnie the Pooh, Paddington, Peter Rabbit among brands to be featured at next week’s show.

Rainbow Designs is ready to take its clutch of high profile licensed brands to The Majestic Hotel in Harrogate next week for the annual Toymaster May Show.

The company will be focusing on its three Peter Rabbit collections – movie, TV and classic nursery – as well as Paddington, The Snowman, classic Winnie the Pooh (pictured), Disney Baby, Miffy and The Very Hungry Caterpillar.

Zara Grindrod, sales director at Rainbow Designs, told sister title PreschoolNews.net that the business is becoming more relevant to Toymaster members who are looking for premium, higher margin giftable lines.

She said: “For us, the event is very targeted and growing as an order writing show and has done year on year. The great social side also gives us the chance to meet people you wouldn’t necessarily have an opportunity to connect with.

“The timing of the show also allows us to reconnect with our customers at a good point in the year, following the initial flurry of early-year trade shows.”

The Toymaster show runs from May 15-17 at The Majestic Hotel in Harrogate.
