London UK, 2026: Breed Media, a physical music manufacturing and vinyl pressing agency that specialises in supporting emerging artists and independent labels, has announced two new appointments, following record performance results.

2025 proved to be a standout year for Breed Media, with the company reporting a 20 per cent year-on-year increase in turnover. This figure marks the latest chapter in a story of sustained growth, with overall turnover up 134 per cent since 2018 and individual orders of vinyl and CDs rising by 71 per cent over the same period. These findings mirror wider market trends, with BPI data showing that 2025 marked the 18th consecutive year of growth for vinyl LP sales, with the market up 13.3 per cent year on year

To continue this growth, Breed Media has expanded its sales team with the addition of Jamie Slaughter, one of the most exciting young minds in music manufacturing. Slaughter's role will focus on connecting with a new generation of artists and labels, bringing Breed Media’s services to new clients. Maria Stundon has also been appointed as Operations Lead and will manage the company’s business workflow and support its continued growth.

Jamie Slaughter, Sales Manager at Breed Media, said, “Breed Media has been quietly doing exceptional work behind the scenes for years. Last year was a record-breaking year for Breed, which contributed to four number-one albums, and we’ve already kicked off the year by announcing the winner of the national Record Store Day Unsigned competition, delivered in partnership with ERA to support and spotlight emerging talent.”

Maria Stundon, Operations Lead at Breed Media, said, “I’m very excited to be taking on the role of Operations Lead at Breed Media. I'll be working closely with the amazing existing team to manage the company’s business workflow and drive our strategic plans forward. I can’t wait to grow and shape the future of the business alongside everyone at Breed whilst continuing to support the independent labels and artists with their releases.”
