Wild Child Animation, the multi-award-winning Scottish studio has announced two key appointments as it continues to steadily expand. Former Head of Production Anthony Eliot-Finch steps into the newly created Head of Business Development role. At the same time, the studio welcomes Hannah Ferguson to the team as Head of Production.

Anthony Eliot-Finch has been with Wild Child Animation since its inception. He previously served as Head of Production, overseeing all of the studio’s projects. With 13 years of industry experience, his career has included various production roles — from management to producing — on high-profile titles such as Paddington, Wicked Part One, and Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore. Most recently, Eliot-Finch guided Wild Child’s long-form children’s series, including Toad & Friends (Warner Bros.) and Piri Penguins (BBC).

In his new role, Eliot-Finch will work closely with CEO Sueann Rochester on the studio’s business development strategy, oversee project bidding, and drive approaches on all of Wild Child’s long and short-form animation.

I’m excited to take on this new role and further develop with Wild Child Animation as the studio progresses. Being with the studio from the beginning, it’s remarkable to see our journey. This position lets me leverage my strengths, and I’m eager to contribute to the studio’s next chapter.

As Head of Production, Ferguson will oversee all aspects of production at Wild Child, driving the studio’s creative excellence. Ferguson’s career spans the entire production lifecycle, from conceptual development to final delivery across series and feature film animated productions.
