My first booked job was last Friday and throughly enjoyed it. I also met 4 lovely Ladies on this booking. The agency staff are helpful, organised and explained every stage in the process for me.

I would definitely recommend Models Direct as they are friendly and professional agency. My most recent assignment was yesterday, it was great fun and the production team were brilliant.

Julie is no stranger to working with prestigious brands and shone brightly on her projects that she left feedback for. Being plus-size (regardless of what dress size one might think this sizing category could fall into) didn’t hold her back nor did she feel deterred that she couldn’t do the job well. On the contrary, she did magnificently and we really appreciate her for being with us.

Next up is our much-loved model, Neri. She has featured in a plethora of modelling assignments. She leaves us with this feedback after working on filming for The Slimming Clinic in the:

This was an incredible experience filming for The Slimming Clinic. Neil (the director) and myself had a long 7 hour drive up to Edinburgh but we hit it off straight away and chatted the whole time. After arriving we went into filming practically straight away and everyone worked so hard. We were a team and bounced ideas off each other, to make filming feel as natural as possible, since it was a training video. All those involved from Charlotte the doctor, Lesley the Dietitian and Phil the movement coach, to Dan the other videographer, they were all so supportive and made me feel so welcome. Over the 2 days, we worked for many hours none stop, but we all did it with such great positivity to achieve as much as possible. Filming wrapped for now, but what an absolutely epic weekend!!! Such an awesome assignment,with awesome people and I remembered my lines!! I stayed in a lovely hotel, ate some super tasty grub and managed to keep my energy up for the whole 2 days. So humbled and greatful to have been chosen for this assignment. Thank you Charlie @ models direct for being so supportive as well. Xx

Neri has extensive experience with us (we have some more blogs about her projects), and being a plus-size hasn’t stopped her from excelling as a professional model. Her plus-size has been celebrated, by herself, and others. Clients and customers warm to Neri’s positivity. Could you be the next model in this modelling category?

Finally, our lovely male plus-size model, Tim, has worked with Stemmer Imaging to produce some blinding work. Thanks, Tim for your positive feedback which we will share with our readers:

I want for you to know that my shoot on Friday turned out to be a 100% success and I was very satisfied to have undertaken this assignment. My only regret was the difficulty in finding the venue by relying on busses when there happened to be a tram depot just across the road! This I discovered after I left the shoot but luckily, the event had been postponed for an hour and a half - so I was in fact early! I met with Jeremy and his photographer along with another girl from Models Direct already in the car being photographed. Sorry I did not get any pre-shoot photos of the event but I really didn't want to disrupt the work going on. I didn't understand the concept of the seatbelt extender at first but now I realised how useful it would be for plus-size drivers - and why I was chosen for the shoot! All in all I cannot fault the afternoon's work and upon leaving, they appeared as pleased with me as I was with them. I hope this product will become a roaring success and I feel pleased to have been a part in its launch. Thanks for the opportunity and hope to work with Models Direct again in the near future.

Tim falls into the big and tall category that most men (and women) have seen when browsing through online clothing content.
