Rosie Marshall, industry toy expert and head of toys and children’s gifts at Associated Independent Stores (AIS) has been a judge and spokesperson for DreamToys, the toy industry’s authoritative list of the top toys for Christmas, for several years and is now lending her voice to the overarching work of the industry’s retail association.
