Managing Director, Responsible for Sales and Licensing

Matt has been working in the licensing and publishing industry since 2009, previously in sales with Kellogg’s for 10 years. Matt started LBB in 2016 with a desire to delight and engage our licensors, retailers and readers with our ‘hands on’ approach to everything we do!

Matt’s main passions are selling, rugby and his family and friends, with a belief that ‘If you can’t have fun doing it, don’t do it!’ in everything he does.

Matt’s favourite LBB brand: “Myself and my boys are sports mad and Shoot! has been a MUST READ ever since my childhood! It has certainly cemented itself as ‘The Voice of Football’ and I love all its exclusive interviews, news features and fun activities.”

Studio Manager

With nearly 20 years’ experience of designing and managing some of the UK’s best-selling Annuals, I still get excited to be working with well-known characters and brands, and enjoy creating on trend, entertaining and educational children’s titles, with our creative partners.

Time away from the office is spent with my family, spending time with my son and sharing books together. My favourite LBB brand is Minecraft. I’ve impressed my son with my knowledge of this game, thanks to our gaming guide!

Responsible for Supply and Finance

I have nearly 8 years of experience in the licensing and publishing industry and find it just as interesting now as when I first started. I love seeing the product evolve from concept to a physical product on the shelf.

Outside of work I love having fun on the Devon coastline with friends and family. In my spare time I like to watch my boys play various sports, read and walk our crazy dog

Favourite LBB brand: I love the Gigantosaurus brand, I think the characters and stories are great fun and really like the artwork.

Executive Assistant

I am primarily responsible for supporting Matt and Rachel and ensuring that the Team as a whole are happy and content. I undertake a variety of tasks and my role is ever changing and developing. I take pride in the success of our team and do whatever I can to support them.

Outside of work I can usually be found on some sort of bike, reading my book with a nice glass of wine, or completing a ridiculously difficult jigsaw puzzle.

Favourite LBB brand is definitely Shoot! I come from a very strong footballing background and absolutely love these annuals!

Senior Graphic Designer

With over 15 years of experience as a Graphic Designer in a range of industries (from Architecture, Education and Publishing), I’ve built a varied folio and skillset that allows me to approach projects at LBB with a fresh perspective. With such a strong existing brand already established at LBB, I’m looking forward to expanding on and developing new products & ranges that continue the high standards already set by the fantastic team here.

It’s always rewarding to see a project through from start to finish, and never gets old holding the final, physical product in your hands for the first time!

Outside of work I’m a musician, illustrator, and occasional practitioner of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Coffee, dogs, 80’s films and anything lemon-flavoured are my vices.

Favourite LBB Brand: Anything Wallace & Gromit. I grew up with Aardman films and still find stop-motion animation fascinating.

Sales and Marketing Executive

My role involves managing the social profiles of all the brands here at Little Brother Books and making sure we stay relevant in a fast-paced market. I’m always on the lookout for new opportunities to grow our sales and also keep our websites fresh and engaging.

Outside of work, I run a small business/blog in the pet niche and love going on scenic drives with my partner in our Mazda MX-5, often visiting family across Devon and Cornwall. I also have a pet Preying Mantis called ‘Little One’.

Favourite brand at Little Brother Books: Got to be ‘Jurassic Explorers.’ I grew up fascinated by the natural world and enjoy teaching my little sister-in-law to not be scared of (or at least appreciate) spiders!

Graphic Designer

I’m a graphic designer with several years of experience in children’s publishing. Having previously designed children’s magazines and now working on children’s books, I’ve had the opportunity to collaborate with a variety of fun and exciting brands.

Outside of work I love watching F1 with my partner, am a total Swifty and a Chelsea diehard!

My favourite brand to work with at LBB is Pokémon. Growing up with the card game and Game Boy games, it’s exciting to design work involving a brand I love.
