Otter House and Carousel Calendars become first Beryl Cook partner
Brand new Beryl Cook range to be launched by Carousel Calendars and Otter House Card and Gift for 2016.
Carousel Calendars and Otter House Card and Gift, together with licensing agent ThisisIris, have announced their intention to publish a range of Beryl Cook stationery and giftware for the first time in 2016. Having recently acquired the licence, the Exeter-based publishers are thrilled by the opportunity to create a new collection showcasing Beryl Cook’s unique artwork.
Martin Rees-Davies, Head of Licensing for The Otter House Group commented;
“We are delighted to be working so closely with the Beryl Cook brand, John Cook and Sarah at ThisisIris. Beryl’s work is stunning, humorous, instantly recognisable and with a very wide appeal that makes this a really exciting project for us. Our brand planning, ideas and strategy will develop some great product that we are looking forward to sharing with the market across dated, stationery, card and gift in due course.”
John Cook, spokesperson for Beryl Cook’s family, commented;
“We were often being asked for products that carried her images and we realised that there was a potential for merchandising. This lead on to us meeting up with our licensing agent, ThisisIris, with whom, we are pleased to say, that we have now joined forces. We are pleased to announce that soon Beryl Cook’s images will be available to an even wider public on the quality giftware that is produced by Otter House.”
