The Licensing Awards 2024 special: Corinne Duckworth, UK Rising Star

Young talent in the industry was also recognised at The Licensing Awards 2024 – with Corinne Duckworth from Dreamtex becoming this year’s recipient of the UK Rising Star Award.

Corinne (pictured centre) is commercial executive at the licensed textiles and homewares specialist.

She was presented with her trophy by Steve Manners, head of global marketing and UK md at Licensing International, which is the sponsor of the award.

Corinne commented: “I’m so unbelievably grateful to have won the Rising Star award. It was a total shock and it still hasn’t really sunk in. To be in a family business in an industry that treats you like family is just the best feeling and I can’t believe I get to do this for a living. Thank you so much again for this award; it truly means the world to me and my family.”
