As managing director, Graham will be responsible for advancing the business of licensing across all sectors of the industry in the UK, creating programmes in support of current members and developing intiatives to meet the needs of future members.

Graham has spent the bulk of his career in licensing-focused roles at some of the world’s most influential media companies including BBC Worldwide and Nelvana. Most recently he served as director of Licensing & Retail for the UK & Nordics at Turner Broadcasting where he oversaw the consumer product and marketing activities for key properties including Ben 10, Powerpuff Girls and Rick & Morty.
