Ahead of the launch of the Tom Gates nationwide live stage show in April, TG Entertainment has appointed Larkshead Licensing as its U.K. licensing agent for the book and TV brand. Larkshead will launch their strategy at the Brands & Retail Conference this month.

Larkshead, which already represents a range of publishing and entertainment properties, will focus on extending the licensing program that inspires children to get creative in a variety of innovative ways.

“With an incredibly loyal family fanbase built up by the success of the laugh-out-loud books and tv series and a 45-date live show coming soon, 2025 is a great time to refresh the Tom Gates licensing program,” says Liz Keynes, commercial director, TG Entertainment. “The brand already connects brilliantly with the target audience of six-12-year-olds but the licensing business is fast-changing and Larkshead articulated a clear vision embracing new opportunities to create products and partnerships to bring even more fun, creativity and confidence into children’s lives.”

“We are incredibly honored to have been entrusted with furthering the licensing journey for this brilliantly successful brand,” Clare Piggott, managing director, Larkshead Licensing. “We can’t wait to get to work with the Tom Gates team on new ideas which will take Tom’s adventures from page, screen and stage and inspire more children to pick up pens, pencils and paintbrushes and explore their creative sides.”
