It is with enormous sadness that our sister title LicensingSource.net shared the devastating news that licensing industry legend Kelvyn Gardner has died unexpectedly of a heart attack.
Hugely respected and much loved by all, Kelvyn, the founder of Asgard Media, long-time managing director of Licensing International UK and active Light Fund committee member, passed away on January 26.
Tributes have been flooding in from all corners of the licensing business, describing Kelvyn as “a one-off, irreplaceable and unrepeatable”, “the heart of the licensing industry”, “incredibly charismatic, insightful and inspiring” and “a true gentleman of the licensing industry”.
The tributes will be published on LicensingSource.net. Anyone wishing to share their thoughts should email Samantha Loveday by clicking here.
Kelvyn’s family requests that no flowers are sent, but anyone who would like to get in touch can do so by writing to Pendragon House, Wicken Rd, Deanshanger, Milton Keynes MK19 6JR.
His wife Michelle, and children Regan and Eliot are to advise on which charity they would like people to donate to in Kelvyn’s honour, should they so wish.
