About me

After graduating from Loughborough University with a maths degree, David Henderson worked as an Accountant for Citigroup, and then as a Vice President for Bear Stearns on the international trading team in London. David joined Top That Publishing in October 2009 as Digital Publishing Director and took over from his father, Barrie Henderson, as Managing Director at the beginning of 2011.

Since taking over as Managing Director, David has expertly used his financial acumen, commercial drive and new perspectives on the publishing industry to transform the company finances and strategy.

David is a highly-driven individual and leads his 45+ team by example. A consummate networker, David's financial expertise and objective analysis and assessment of the publishing industry has been pivotal in the development of new company strategies and the pursuit of new markets internationally and in the UK.

David led the restructure of the group to found two new companies to add diversification to the publishing company, that will serve to future proof Top That in a rapidly changing and increasingly digitised world in children's media.

The founding of two new companies include an educational brand called Loved By Kids, due to launch its first product Story Station in March 2014, and an app development business, Playcreate Media, which has already produced 15 apps for Disney licensees during 2013.
