“We wish the BMF team every success in the future and will always hold our partnership in high regard. ”

BMF managing director, Stephen McArdle added: “We’re very proud of what we’ve achieved with Lion over the years, with work that has defined careers and categories along the way. In more recent times , our view of what makes world-class work has started to differ and the time felt right for us both to move on. We wish Lion every success in the future.”
