Licensing agency Haven is expanding its Asia presence with a new office in Manial to manage the Philippines market.

The office will be led by Tom Punch, president, and Yvonne King, chief executive officer, HavenAsia.

“It’s always been a dream of Yvonne’s and mine to take our expertise and extend our reach into other markets,” says Punch. “Our goal is to offer a solution for powerful brand owners up throughout the Asian markets and the launch of HavenAsia in the Philippines is the first step in that plan. We have already established significant retail and strategic licensee relationships and in a short time have laid the foundations for success.”
