Bookings Models

Bookings Model Agency was started in 1976.

As one of the founding members of the Association of Model Agents, we take our responsibilities seriously. We don't just look after the careers of our models today, we realise they are young people who need advice and guidance for the future. At Bookings we have always taken pride in the care we take of our models.

As an agency we've never had hundreds of names on our books at any one time, preferring to remain smaller and more personal where all our models feel they are an important part of the agency, no matter how young or experienced they are. We believe, for someone entering the fiercely competitive world of the fashion industry, our sort of care can make all the difference.

Storm Models

At Storm, led by industry luminary Sarah Doukas, we have an experienced and dedicated team whose aim is to provide the highest quality representation to its models and outstanding service to its clients.

We plan each person's career for the long term, always taking his or her strengths and personal circumstances into account. This, we believe, will maximise their potential, their job satisfaction and the opportunities available to them. Likewise we build our client relationships for the long term, endeavouring consistently to have the best modelling talent available to them.

Storm is a member of the Association of Model Agents. Telephone number +44 (0)9068 517644. Calls charged at 50 pence per minute.

Ugly agency

UGLY Model Agency is the first and still the best character model agency in the world.

Ugly enterprises were started in 1969 by two photographers who recognized a gap in the modelling market for "interesting" faces. They created a niche for itself in supplying advertisers with faces that are not traditionally beautiful to front their campaigns.

Ugly specializes in individuals, and with over 900 models on our books ranging from 18-100 years old, sizes 6-30 and our Wee Folk (4'1) to The Giant (7'6). We can fulfill any requirement, as no job is too big, outrageous or bizarre for Ugly model agency. As a result Ugly model agency has built up a large client base over its 35 years.
