Dreamtex’s Anthony Duckworth on a more predictable year in terms of timing and inventory, new launches and strong licences.
As we move through 2023, LicensingSource.net asks a selection of licensees how they are looking to make the most of the first quarter of the New Year despite the wider challenges that everyone is facing.
Today: Anthony Duckworth, md, Dreamtex.
“2022 certainly had its challenges, there is no doubt there. However, a strong finish to the year has given us a decent springboard into 2023 as we capitalise on winning new retail business during Q1 and Q2. Shipping has begun to stabilise now meaning a more predictable year in terms of timings and inventory; this was not the case in the beginning of 2022.
Strong licences such as Bluey, Xbox and Disney/Marvel will always perform well even in quieter seasons. We’ve introduced some new products to the range and we’re planning to grow our portfolio further during Q1 and Q2. Overall, Dreamtex is expecting big things from 2023, especially from an order book perspective.”
