“Phil is one of the finest board members I've ever had the privilege to work with. He spoke with brevity but every word he said was carefully chosen, listened to, and resonated long after the meeting. He combined passionate support for the cause and generous personal care for members of the executive with the absolute ability to call out our accountability and tell us when we were going wrong. His breadth of experience as an international CEO gave him insights across the gamut of our work and governance. His networks helped us secure partnerships that reached billions of people, and inspired and raised hundreds of millions of pounds for the global malaria campaign. We're going to miss him more than we know.”

Commotion Ltd has appointed Playtime PR Ltd | Certified B Corp™️ PR to manage UK communications for its in-house brand tickit. Following a highly successful project in the run-up to Christmas 2025, the partnership has now evolved into a longer-term retained brief, focused on building the award-winning brand with UK consumers. Honor Davidson, Head of Marketing at Commotion, said: “After a successful first outing with Playtime last year, we’re excited to be continuing the relationship on a deeper level in 2026. We feel we’ve found the ideal partner to align with our strategy of continuing to build the tickit brand in early years’ settings, whilst also ensuring those play experiences are replicated again and again with our products at home. We’ve been impressed by the team’s collaborative approach and their ability to ensure PR activity aligns closely with our wider business objectives.” Tickit’s extensive range of high-quality, open-ended play products has been developed for, and tested by, infants and pre-schoolers in real-world settings. From wooden construction toys and light panels to sensory and imaginative play resources. Chrissie Williams, Playtime’s Joint Head of Consumer Campaigns, added: “The tickit range is substantial, with each product offering something genuinely different. Taking the time to understand the full breadth of the range allows us to identify clear hero lines and tell a compelling story to different audiences.”
