Anita Frost is the founder of Green Bean Studios®, where we create precious moments through fun adventures and inspiring children’s entertainment. Our IP brand empowers children and families globally to discover, nurture, and enjoy the world around them through retail, music, TV, film, and immersive events/attractions.

Our Core Values
At the heart of everything we do are three core pillars: Community, Earth, and Kids. We are dedicated to supporting children to play, learn, go on fun adventures and nurture the world around us.

Driving the Creative Economy
Our business significantly supports the UK economy and export market. The creative sector, to which we belong, contributes £111.7bn GVA to the UK economy, surpassing the combined value of the automotive, aerospace, life sciences, and oil and gas industries. UK Creative Industries export £35.6bn annually and are growing at three times the national average, employing over 2 million UK-wide. We have a robust, forecasted strategy to scale our business with inclusive innovations across multi-revenue streams, including franchising, licensing merchandise, and further ECO products. Post-investment, we will scale to generate employment and create R&D opportunities for universities, which will benefit families.
