Response

Parts of this query refer to TNA’s ‘commercial team’ and ‘fundraising team’. TNA does not have a ‘commercial’ team; however, for the purposes of this query, we have interpreted our equivalent of this as being a combination of our Licensing, Publishing, Digitisation, Digital Downloads, Image Library, and Retail teams. TNA also does not have a ‘fundraising’ team; however, for the purposes of this query, we have interpreted our equivalent of this as being our Grant Development team.
