Super Wings brand owner strengthens team

Alpha Animation & Toys welcomes trio of new hires to UK and Ireland team.

The owner of the Super Wings brand – Alpha Animation & Toys – has made a number of new hires which have significantly strengthened its UK and Ireland team.

Since January, the UK arm of the Alpha Group has more than doubled in size in its first six months of business.

Joining the UK sales team are Lisa Cox (pictured left) and Kirsty Gray (centre) as senior account managers.

Both will be working across Alpha’s extensive range of products, including Super Wings, Drone Force and more, handling a portfolio of large retailer accounts.

In addition, Kerry Tarrant (right) has taken on the role of marketing manager. Joining from Vivid, Kerry has worked with brands including Plasticine, Aqua Beads and Thunderbirds.

Meanwhile, for Ireland, Andrew McCormick will join the team at the beginning of August.

“Along with our most recent addition Andrew McCormick in Ireland, I’m thrilled to welcome our three new UK team members,” commented Mark Hyndman, country general manager UK & Ireland at Alpha Animation & Toys.

“At Alpha, our ambition is to bring innovative and quality products to the market. We have a growing portfolio of properties and content for a varied demographic, offering key USP’s and play patterns and I believe, with our extended UK team, we will have a very successful 2017/18.”
