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.

Surely not....

... a man that does his own washing? Evidently so, as this is James Brown showing us how it's done for Dr Beckmann Glo White. Whilst you're there James, stick us a load in...!

Boss bassist

As part of our ongoing introduction to the team at Boss HQ, we are delighted this week to celebrate our Director of Operations, Andy Burns. In charge of all the legal, client/model/staff welfare and health & safety aspects of the agency, he sure has a challenge each and every day... apart from Fridays that he has off... We were all fortunate enough last Saturday to share his passion and see Andy play in his band (see sneaky video snippet below). We were certainly impressed and can't wait for their next gig. Lets find out more about the chap....

Six names that you go by? Andy, Andrew, Burnsy, Chief, Keymeister, Love.

What is your preferred choice of transport and why? Steam locomotive, because they please so many senses – sight, sound, smell.

Do you have a favourite tipple? Real ale

If such thing was to exist, how would you enjoy a ‘perfect day’? Take a steam excursion to Oulton Park race track, thrash my bike round it all afternoon, play a gig in the evening at the corporate facility and have a great après gig party!

Do you have any pet hates? Prejudice of any kind

We know you like your music, so which band would you like to play in? Uriah Heep – check them out on

What would you consider as your best attribute? Different attributes are important to different people. I think the ability to remain calm under pressure is my best….. I SAID THE ABILITY TO REMAIN………..oh.

What is your favourite thing about working at Boss? The staff – they’re so eclectic! (good answer)
