Megan Hodgson – Rights Assistant
Megan has been with Musicalities since 2019. She especially enjoys the great variety of work that accompanies music licensing and particularly the completion and delivery of the final paperwork to each respective client.
Vivienne Charteris – Company Secretary

Her role at Musicalities has been far less strenuous and, as private companies have traditionally been required by law to appoint one person as a company secretary, she kindly undertakes that position with ease!
