GARY POPE
Director, Kids Industries

In 1998 Gary left his position as Head of English at a Lambeth School to build Kids Industries with his wife, Jennifer when he realised how much more fun it would be to play with toys rather than confiscate them.

  Today, Kids Industries is proud to count Cartoon Network, GlaxoSmithKline, Unilever, Disney Consumer Products, Hit Entertainment and American Greetings as some of its clients. Gary is a juror for Children’s BAFTA, a member of the steering committee for Showcomotion and a lecturer at the German based Akademie Fur Kindermedien Interactive Development Course. Gary lives in South London and probably always will. Most importantly Gary is dad to Daisy.
