I, together with my wife Suzy recently represented our business in the United States and were privileged to be awarded at a Civic Reception the Keys and Seal of the City of Fort Lauderdale by the Mayor.

A great honour and in recognition of us establishing our US Headquarters in the State of Florida.

The Reception was attended by many stars in the film and television industry along with the Film Commissioners of Broward County and Miami - all of whom agreed, they can't wait to have access to models and talent registered with us in Europe and in particular the UK. This opens up the opportunities to anyone registered with us with the possibility of not only being seen, but selected by film makers in the US.
