BWS Celebrates Landmark Success with Six-Figure Retained Client and Surge in International Demand
BWS Celebrates Landmark Success with Six-Figure Retained Client and Surge in International Demand MANCHESTER, United Kingdom, June 03, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BWS, the Manchester-based animation studio known for its distinctive hand-drawn style and emotionally resonant storytelling, is celebrating a landmark period of growth and creative success. Following a string of high-profile project wins and growing international acclaim, the studio has cemented its position as one of the UK's most exciting creative forces in the world of animation and visual storytelling. At the heart of this milestone is a new six-figure retained partnership with a major US-based client—BWS's largest retained agreement to date. This deal not only marks a significant commercial achievement but also reinforces the studio's expanding international presence, particularly across the North American market. The win follows a sharp rise in repeat commissions and ongoing project work from existing clients on both sides of the Atlantic, showcasing the growing demand for BWS's unique creative approach. While many in the industry have shifted towards AI-generated content, BWS has remained committed to the traditional craft of hand-drawn animation. This dedication to authenticity, originality and human-led artistry is helping the studio stand out at a time when creativity risks becoming homogenised.

Commenting on the recent developments, founder Ben Wild said: "I'm incredibly proud of what our team has achieved. Securing a retained client of this scale for our latest international project in America is a huge milestone. The fact that we're also seeing sustained growth across both UK and US markets proves that our focus on bespoke animation and creative integrity truly resonates. We're doing things differently — and it's paying off in all the right ways." Alongside its client work, BWS is also investing heavily in the development of original intellectual property. In collaboration with long-time business partner Andrew Morgan, the studio is actively exploring new ventures in the entertainment and digital content space. Several projects are already in development, with exciting announcements expected later this year. The studio's client roster already boasts some of the biggest names in media and entertainment, including the Premier League, Seren Kids, CBBC, New Balance and Amazon Prime. These collaborations have helped establish BWS as a go-to studio for brands seeking high-quality, hand-crafted animation with emotional depth.

Largest interstate Tasmanian devil breeding program devastated by NSW floods
Dean Reid So the situation is that we've had our sister organisation, Australian Reptile Park, come up yesterday with boots on the ground to get a lot of this stuff fixed that we need to. Every time we fix one of our sanctuary fences, there's so much water pumping through it, it broke again. So we've had our breach response in traps outside, just building the fence every day. While there's water pumping through it, it's pretty safe to say that no animals got out. We had camera traps on there too, which didn't pick anything up. And now we're just sort of triaging stuff, just making sure all the animals are safe. One of our devil pens was fully flooded, so we were pulling devils out of there the other day and putting them in vet block. So, yeah, but everyone's good so far. Kylie Baxter So the devils are safe, you just had to relocate them through the mud and the rain and these terrible conditions? Dean Reid Yeah, they usually live in little burrows. They dig their own burrows or under logs and stuff like that. Just one yard is in the back corner of the sanctuary where all the breeding animals are. The ones out into the BWS, which is our big sanctuary, we have about 50 devils out there. We've done a check around and they're running around and we put food out and monitored them. So they're all OK. But yeah, we did have to move about 10 devils out of one yard and we'll just have to wait for that flooding to go down in there. Kylie Baxter And do you have to put big gloves on? Because they're not always the friendliest creatures, are they, despite what people think? Dean Reid That's true. No. If you haven't hand raised one, then no, they are a bit aggressive. But the way you handle them is basically tailing them, getting them out very quickly and putting them in traps and then locating them somewhere else. Kylie Baxter I imagine a devil bite would not be a lot of fun. Dean Reid No, it's not a lot of fun. And yeah, we have to go to hospital and get that cleaned out if we get one. I've been working with devils for 14 years now and I've, touch wood, never been bitten by one. Kylie Baxter OK, that is good news. I'm glad about that. So are you preparing for more rain or what's happening as far as the weather event? Dean Reid So I've had about 500 mls all up on the Barrington Tops. It was sunny this morning, but it's come over cloudy and it's raining again. But just it's misty rain. So we've got everything in place at the moment. We've got fences coming in tomorrow. The water levels have dropped in all the creek lines. So we have a big fence coming in tomorrow to fix that section of fence. We went out this morning and double checked it and put some tin around it just so we, you know, just make sure it's extra safe. So we're not getting anything going out and anything coming in. We don't want cats and foxes coming in, obviously. But yeah, at the moment, we're sort of triaging everything. So we've just done a big flood appeal, which are on our socials, if anyone wants to go and have a look. Kylie Baxter Dean, what about the koalas? Is there any issues there or have they just climbed up to higher ground in their trees? Dean Reid Koalas always live high up in the tree. They will come to ground and go to tree to tree, but they sort of hunker down. They're built for this kind of thing. They curl up in a ball. They've got two layers of fur, one thick and one long and one short. And so I was looking at them today. I went and tracked all the koalas and they all look really well and healthy. But with so much rain and we've had so much rain constantly, that's why we got so flooded in the last three months is just constant rain and the water's got nowhere to go. But koalas can get a thing like septicemia if they're not monitored with too much rain, too wet and things like that. But all our koalas look great. Kylie Baxter Fantastic. And any other animals that you have there that you're keeping an eye on? Dean Reid Yeah. So our eastern quoll enclosures, we've got something like 80 quolls. One side of them, unfortunately, is concreted in, not like it's got concrete base around it, but it's dirt. Unfortunately, they all flooded. So we had to pull all the eastern quolls out of that side and re-home them into other areas. So that was, you know, all the quolls were up in their nest box, nice and dry. But obviously it was fully flooded in there. So they have to stay in there. They couldn't get to the ground. So we've moved all those and all our hand-raised animals like Pippidi the palmer, we just pull them in when it's really wet because they're not used to such wet conditions and we want to make sure they're nice and safe. Kylie Baxter And what are you hearing from colleagues and friends around the state? Because we're seeing some really sad pictures of animals trapped by these floodwaters. Dean Reid Yeah, it's terrible to see. Like, you know, we've been hit pretty hard up here, but thankfully, you know, we've got lots of boots on the ground and we're doing what we need to do. But it's just terrible to see the devastation in Taree and Port Macquarie and all those places and seeing cows on beaches. But on a good note, my neighbour next door was trying to get his pump out and a platypus popped right up. So they're doing well. Kylie Baxter Oh, well, that's good to hear. Look, I'm really glad that all of your animals are safe and that you're, you know, now able to get on the ground and do what you need to do. Dean, thanks for updating us on the situation. Dean Reid No, my pleasure. Thanks for having us.

Jayne Hrdlicka to run Dan Murphy's, BWS as Endeavour chief executive
Former Virgin Australia chief executive Jayne Hrdlicka has been appointed to run Endeavour, the hospitality group that owns hundreds of pubs around the country and the Dan Murphy's and BWS liquor chains. Hrdlicka stepped down from Virgin earlier this year after navigating the airline, owned by Bain Capital, into a major tie-up with Qatar Airways. She had run the company since Bain purchased it out of administration after it collapsed during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Bottle shops to be shut across NSW on Anzac Day under new rule
New trading restrictions will be enforced across New South Wales this Anzac Day (Friday), forcing most bottle shops to be closed. The legislation passed in NSW last year, and means retailers including supermarkets, bottle shops and alcohol retailers will be shut on April 25. In previous years trading was allowed after 1pm on Anzac Day. The Endeavour Group, that operate bottle shops including Dan Murphy's, BWS and Coles alcohol outlets, have confirmed most stores in NSW will be closed. Select Dan Murphy's and BWS stores attached to Australian Leisure and Hospitality group (ALH) hotels will be open. National industry body Retail Drinks Australia has slammed the new rules, labelling them 'unfair and anticompetitive.' 'As a key sector within the broader liquor industry, our members have retailed responsibly and respectfully on this day for decades, servicing their local communities – they respect the significance and importance of Anzac Day,' chief executive Michael Waters told 9NEWS. He said retailers should be able to open from 1pm, as they have done in the past. 'People taking part in Anzac Day should be able to commemorate however they choose, whether attending community ceremonies, joining family and friends at a BBQ, or having a quiet drink remembering old mates,' Mr Waters said. The NSW government backed the move, saying it better represents the importance of Anzac Day. Western Australia also has restrictions all day on April 25. Anzac Day trading hours NSW: All bottle shops, supermarkets closed, unless exempt. Exemptions include shops attached to ALH hotels, and takeaway sales from pubs. ACT: No restrictions. NT: No restrictions. TAS: Retailers, bottle shops open from 12.30pm. SA: Retailers, bottle shops remain open between 12 and 5pm in Adelaide CBD only. WA: All bottle shops, supermarkets closed, unless exempt.
