We are proud to announce that Rainbow Productions has been awarded the King’s Awards for Enterprise: International Trade 2025.

Unique in offering a complete mascot manufacture, wardrobe and costume character events management service, Rainbow Productions has established its position within the licensing industry and we have rapidly developed a global reputation as the go-to company for bespoke mascots and costume character appearances.

The King’s Awards for Enterprise, previously known as The Queen’s Awards for Enterprise, were renamed in 2023 to reflect His Majesty The King’s desire to continue the legacy of HM Queen Elizabeth II by recognising outstanding UK businesses. The Award programme, now in its 59th year, is the most prestigious business award in the country, with successful businesses able to use the esteemed King’s Awards Emblem for the next 5 years.

This award is our biggest honour in Rainbow’s forty-year history as Managing Director, Simon Foulkes, commented “We are absolutely thrilled to receive this distinguished award. Not only does it put Rainbow firmly on the map as leader in British exports, it is also a great testament to the talent, dedication and commitment of all the employees and freelancers associated with the company. This award highlights our achievements to a much wider audience. My team have worked incredibly hard, so this award is for them. Together we have taken our business from Southwest London to the world.”

Bluey & Bingo

With two bank holidays and a half term, May has been a busy month for character appearances.

Blue, the star of Paramount Pictures new family movie IF, walked the purple carpet at the London premiere… Pikachu cheered on 24 primary school teams at The ESFA Pokémon Primary Schools’ Cup Finals at Derby Country Football Club… and Chilli and Bandit joined Bluey and Bingo to celebrate the 10th anniversary of CBeebies Land at Alton Towers Resort!

It’s been an exciting month for Peppa Pig too.  The whole Pig family attended the opening of mainland Europe’s first Peppa Pig Theme Park in Germany and Peppa Pig attended the Licensing Expo in Las Vegas to kick start her 20th anniversary celebrations!

Rainbow Productions has successfully purchased a new premises after booming demand.

Rainbow Productions has seen sales of its mascot costumes rocket past pre-covid levels as people flock back to live events and gatherings.

The character and costume specialist manufacturers all costumes by hand from its London premises in Colliers Wood. The new unit, purchased with the support of challenger business bank Allica Bank, is based nearby and will allow Rainbow to increase its capacity as demand for both new mascots and its aftercare services have grown, potentially increasing their operating capacity by as much as a third.


The property was purchased using a commercial mortgage from Allica Bank, which is a challenger bank specifically focused on supporting established businesses like Rainbow with a combination of relationship manager support and powerful technology.

The MD of Rainbow Productions, Simon Foulkes, said, “Rainbow has seen some fantastic growth on the back of soaring demand for live events, which has exceeded pre-pandemic levels.

“We’re incredibly pleased to have acquired our new unit with the help of Allica Bank and our relationship manager, Martin. Once fully operational, it will enable us to operate much more efficiently and give us the confidence to continue to grow the business in line with demand. It also secures our future in the local area which is so important given our hugely talented pool of colleagues.”

Talking about the support they provided to Rainbow Productions, their relationship manager at Allica Bank, Martin Parker, said, “Allica Bank is thrilled to partner with such an exciting, growing business like Rainbow Productions. Simon and his team have vast experience, which they combine with immense creative talent, and have a clear vision for the firm that made them the perfect business for Allica to support. It is also wonderful to work with a business that exists to make people smile!

“Allica Bank is committed to serving established businesses like Rainbow, who are such a core part of our local communities. As their relationship manager, I am looking forward to working closely with them to see how else we can help them grow. Maybe we’ll even see an Allica Bank mascot enter the scene!”
