UK - YFM invests £125,000 in Brandzoo
YFM Venture Finance, via its Partnership Investment Fund (PIF), has invested £125,000 into licensing agency Brandzoo.
Bradford-based Brandzoo creates, manages and exploits the licensing of potential brands, working with major blue chip and television companies. Recent brands include the Grandpa in My Pocket TV programme, and the Moody Little Madams and Urban Football clothing ranges. The company was founded by Brian Tottman, Jenny Johnstone and David McGowan.
The new funding will help the company develop high profile brands created externally, as well as to brand concepts developed internally. The investment is also expected to allow Brandzoo to purchase new equipment to help improve the speed in which the company can turn around visuals.
