How did you get into the toy industry?
I have always been in marketing with a strong bent towards retail; so this is just one of the areas that fits my profile of expertise. In truth this has to be one of my favourite areas; helping to develop young brains and support their learning in a fun, effective, interactive manner. I feel extremely passionate about “inclusive play” and physical interaction in this digital age, where visual communication behaviours can potentially miss a key stage for essential social development.

What was your best memory of Toy Fair?
