The latest round of signings are in addition to current partners Giochi Preziosi, who are the master toy licensee,  Random House for publishing, Aykroyd and TDP for children’s nightwear and Character World  for  bedroom textiles and accessories.

A second series of Tree Fu Tom was recently ordered by CBeebies for 2013 and the show is also distributed globally by Fremantle Media.
