Rockpool Licensing welcomes Nicola Thompson

Former senior commercial manager, CPLG Sport, to team up with Vickie O’Malley.

Rockpool Licensing continues to grow, with Nicola Thompson, former senior commercial manager, CPLG Sport, joining md Vickie O’Malley.

Nicola began her licensing career as head of partnerships at West Ham United, before moving to CPLG in 2008 where Vickie was UK md.

She has worked on a number of high profile sports brands including The FA, RFU, St Andrew’s Links, Fulham FC and her former club, West Ham.

Vickie, who set up Rockpool Licensing in 2014, said: “Nic’s track record in managing multi million pound brand licensing and sponsorship programmes makes her a tremendous asset.

“It’s phenomenally helpful to have someone with her experience and network contributing to Rockpool’s growth and, on a personal level, it’s a thrill to be able to team up with a friend and trusted colleague.”

Nicola added: “I jumped at the opportunity to work with Vickie again and am delighted to be involved with Rockpool’s fantastic portfolio of brands. It’s extremely exciting to be given the chance to help grow these licensing programmes and bring new partners to the business.”

Rockpool Licensing’s clients currently include Tough Mudder, Gogglebox and Brambly Hedge, while it also provides consultancy services to rights owners and other agencies.
