The Brand & Lifestyle Licensing Awards kicked off in style last week (25 April), honouring some of the newest talent in the business, with the presentation of the B&LLAs Rising Star Award.
Oliver Gilding, head of licensing and innovation at Iceland Foods (pictured), was named the 2024 recipient of the accolade, which was presented by Steve Manners, head of global marketing and UK md at Licensing International, the sponsor of the award.
Oliver commented: “It was humbling to have been recognised alongside so many other exciting young talents and to ultimately win this year’s Rising Star award. I am only at the start of what will be a long career in retail and specifically licensing.
“I am committed to continuously challenging myself and expanding my knowledge of the industry and its diverse roles. 2024 will see Iceland launch more licensed products than ever before, including some huge new brands so watch this space.”
