We’ve always had solid working relationships with a variety of brands looking for the very best commercial models. We know the importance of three main elements that make modelling campaigns the successes they set out to be: our very own Models Direct team, our talented and ambitious models, and our innovative clients. All three come together to make our business successful, our models happy in their work, and our clients more in the public eye – which is a major reason for employing commercial models.

We’d like to dedicate this blog to our clients, because we appreciate them putting their faith in us – as the UK’s predominant employment modelling agency – over the past 35 years. Without them we wouldn’t be in the position we are.

Looking to hire models?

Besides letting them know how grateful we are for their continued support, we’d like to tell our clients that we’re not taking anything for granted, and that we aim to have an even better half of the 2020s. Our aim is to:

  • Maintain the level of commitment we’ve shown since first operating in 1990.
  • Keep looking forward to our loyal clients’ modelling briefs, and valuing their importance in ensuring the client’s voice is heard in all forms of media.
  • Continue to provide the most suitable models of all backgrounds for our client’s needs. We’re particularly proud of the depth of talent already registered with us, and we anticipate even more numbers to satisfy the growing number of assignments we’ve experienced year-on-year.
  • Be the flagship for diversity, encouraging even more models to express themselves on set for our clients. We’ve seen a rise in diversity every year, and this looks to continue. Models Direct always emphasises the need and value of every type of model, each with their own characteristics and idiosyncrasies, and we acknowledge that variety plays a key part in many modelling campaigns.

Hire a model

To any new brands that need real-life models to appeal to millions, we’d like to mention that:


  • We always like hearing from exciting companies with aspirations of using the UK’s most prominent employment modelling agency.
  • Hiring an enthusiastic model with us is very simple, and our booking team is available at any time during working hours to help you in any way.
  • Clients can be as specific or generic as they like. Usually, the more information we receive in a job spec means we can put forward the most suited clients, but if clients don’t need a particular model, we can read between the lines and recommend the models we think will excel and do you proud.
  • Because we have the largest number of models of any agency in the UK, we can find clients the right models for assignments in any part of the UK.
  • We also represent worldwide, so please contact us to discuss opportunities.
  • When you’re a client with Models Direct, you have one point of contact throughout the process.
  • We follow-up with clients after the assignment and respect their feedback.
