The Home of Classic Characters is strengthening its sales team ahead of the London Toy Fair, with the appointment of a new National Accounts Controller as well as a successful internal promotion to Field Sales Team Leader.
Rainbow Designs is delighted to welcome Gary Hughes to the team as National Accounts Controller. Gary’s extensive experience in both the publishing and toy sectors, most recently managing the games category at Winning Moves across the high street and independents, will be a fantastic and welcomed asset to the Rainbow Sales Team.
“I am thrilled to be joining the Rainbow family and feel like I’ve found a new home here. Managing the nursery category, in addition to the toy and gift sectors, will be new for me”

“I am thrilled to be joining the Rainbow family and feel like I’ve found a new home here. Managing the nursery category, in addition to the toy and gift sectors, will be new for me, but with such a beautiful range of products, I am convinced that the future holds great opportunities and I’m really excited about taking the Rainbow brands and expanding them even further with our partners,†said Gary.
Mandy McGough, who has been with Rainbow for five years and successfully developed the Northern Sales Territory, has been given a very well deserved promotion to Field Sales Team Leader to help the team strive for, and deliver, Rainbow’s growth ambition.
