BBC Worldwide strikes deal with CPLG; names Chicco as key toy partner

BBC Worldwide has struck a licensing deal with CPLG and named Chicco as a key toy partner in Italy.

“Duggee and his friends are much loved by little ones; with the inspiring and cheerful atmosphere the series exudes, it immediately captures the imagination of children,” observed Raffaele D’Angelo, marketing & product engineering director Toys at Chicco

“We are very much looking forward to having Hey Duggee toys in our stores and will dedicate great visibility in-store to the range,” he added.

Rikesh Desai, licensing director for merchandise & gaming, consumer products – BBC Worldwide added, “We are delighted to add Chicco to our global licensing portfolio for Hey Duggee. Italy is an important and growing market for us, so we are looking forward to working with them on extending Hey Duggee’s product paw-print”

Chicco joins a range of licensing partners for the pre-school brand including Golden Bear for plush toys, Jazwares for Master Toy in the US and Jasnor who distribute both Golden Bear’s plush toy range and Jazware’s figurines and play sets in Australia.
