Glynn Davies brings his extensive toy sales experience and knowledge of the pop culture sector to his new role at Heathside Trading. 

Writing on LinkedIn, Glynn Davies said: “I’m happy to share that I’ve started a new position in wholesale and distributor sales with Heathside Trading, working on some great brands and properties from across the entertainment and pop culture world.”

Glynn’s impressive background in the toy industry will no doubt prove a boon to Heathside. Before taking up his new role he was sales director and global head of sales at Eaglemoss, which specialised in pop culture models, collectibles, build kits and more. His CV also boasts the likes of Warner Bros., where Glynn was executive category licensing director (EMEA), Toys & Publishing, and The Lego Group, where he held the role of director, Global Co-Promotions and Promotional Licensing.

John Nelson, Heathside CEO, commented: ”Having worked with Glynn for many years when he was with Eaglemoss, and prior to that with Warner Brothers, he seemed an ideal fit for our business when it comes to expanding our retail partnerships and European distributor business. We have many pop culture licences which enhance our portfolio of properties and believe Glynn will be able to service these customers with confidence.”

Heathside’s portfolio currently includes properties such as Among Us, Sonic, My Hero Academia, Minecraft, Yu-Gi-Oh! and Five Nights at Freddy’s.

This year, the company has also signed a number of new deals which have further bolstered the Heathside’s portfolio. In March, the company announced a worldwide licensing deal for the Destination brand of board games from Rachel Lowe, and in May it inked a long-term licensing and distribution deal which sees it now offer Chameleon patented Blendypen branded products to customers. Prior to these deals, Heathside kicked off the year by being named as exclusive distributor for Just Toys‘ full range of toys and collectibles in the UK and Ireland.
