Head honcho

 Here he is, the man himself and our own Mr Incredible, Gareth Bancroft, a.k.a our Head Booker. With a penchant for Aston Villa (unfortunately this is not a new posh ice cream) Gareth is football mad, which is a world away from the booking desk that he is attached to... for about 20 hours each day! With an enviable amount of international contacts, avec a soupçon of spice and feistiness, his calming nature and oh so controlled manner establishes Gareth as our pillar of strength. You cannot not love this guy so lets find out a little more....

This week it is all about Agency Manager, Tracy Edge. Keeping us in line for the last six years, Tracy is also the agency mummy, easing our souls and soothing our pain when necessary. See our infamous question and answering session below… (Talking of the Christmas markets, we pretty much live there, so give us a shout if you’re heading down and lets share a tipple… or two… or six as it was last night… EEK)

Love from Miami







Marc Browne and Melissa Hargreaves send their love from across the pond, in a very sunny Miami. First image is of them at the bay onto downtown Miami (we're not at all jealous...), secondly is Melissa backstage at Lanvin and then her again outside the Kardashians shop. Followed by hot off the press and awesome Miami test shots. Nice to hear from you guys and great to hear you're doing so well xXx

Mix-d Model Competition

We were delighted to work alongside Bradley Lincoln, the founder of the charity 'Mix-d', at the UK's first mixed-race model contest. Bradley said that he “noticed that there was a problem in the fashion industry for mixed-race models who weren't seen as black enough to be black and not white enough”. Held at the impressive Gorton Monastery on Saturday night, the event was a celebration of the mixed race community, who are the fastest growing segment of the UK's population. Deciding on the winners was a tough call, all of the contestants did an outstanding job. See snap above of the winners Graham Scaif and Florence Cassidy and we will update you on their progress and share their new shots with you soon!

Smirnoff

Ex-pro footballer Mr Matthew Gregoire in this recent advert for Smirnoff Triple Distilled Purity. They didn't have time to rehearse and Matt was supposed to let Giggsy's goal go in.... However, he couldn't resist and saved the goal in the first take. Get in.
