Modelling jobs and more...

1st timeI’d like to start by expressing my genuine appreciation for finally being given the opportunity to take part in the recent commercial shoot for Greene King at Cheadle Hulme. This was my first modeling experience with Models Direct since joining back in 2023, and overall, the day itself was incredibly fulfilling. I thoroughly enjoyed being part of a vibrant set, meeting new people, and contributing to scenes I didn’t expect to be involved in — it truly gave me a glimpse into the potential of what this career could be.
That said, I do feel it’s important to share some honest feedback regarding the process leading up to this point. While I’m grateful for the experience, I can’t ignore the fact that it’s taken nearly three years to receive my first assignment. During this time, I’ve seen others come on board and secure shoots within a couple of months, which has been difficult to witness as someone who’s been committed to the journey since 2023.
I understand that opportunities in this industry can be unpredictable, and that sometimes it’s about timing and fit. However, the wait has been disheartening at times, especially without consistent communication or clarity on how I could have improved my chances. I say this not out of complaint, but out of a sincere desire to be considered more actively moving forward.
The shoot reminded me how much I enjoy this space, and I hope this can be the beginning of more regular opportunities. I’m committed, adaptable, and ready to bring more energy and professionalism to future assignments.
Thank you again for the opportunity — I just hope it won’t take another three years for the next one.

What a great experience we have just had as a family. Superb organisation right from the very beginning by Gemma @ Models Direct.
Gemma was very supportive and communicative all the way through and everyone involved with the shoot was extremely professional, friendly and made the experience a very enjoyable one.
The shoot was at a Holiday park and we got to experience many aspects of the parks facilities including water slides, restaurant, cinema and even their wave surfer!
All was explained to us before the day and any changes enforced by the weather was communicated with us fully so we always knew what we were doing next.
Great experience. Thank you again for all of the support.

I had a great time on setI had a great time on set, the crew were very welcoming and polite, as this was my first assignment, this put me at an ease that made the day very enjoyable. I had a great time also meeting other people who were having a similar experience to me.I had no expectations to even have an opportunity to be used as an extra but the opportunity that was provided by the crew was most welcome. If I were to give one criticism, it would be communicating were I should go or if I was finished with a shot or not.Great day on set and a wonderful first experienceDate of experience: 27 November 2024

I had the opportunity to be part of the Greene King modelling shoot, and overall it was a smooth and relaxed day, though quite slow-paced.
I arrived at 9 AM and spent the majority of the morning, until around midday, in the waiting room with the rest of the talent. The team was friendly and accommodating, and there was a chilled atmosphere, but there wasn’t much going on for most of that time. We then had an hour-long lunch break from 12 to 1 PM, which gave us a good chance to recharge and catch up with others on set.
After lunch, I was called onto set and spent about an hour and a half standing at the bar, acting as a background extra while the main shots were taken. It was straightforward and easy to follow direction, and the production crew were clear with what they needed. Once that wrapped, it was back to the waiting area again, where we stayed until we were dismissed.
Although there wasn’t a huge amount of activity throughout the day, the environment was positive, and everyone was easy to work with
Thanks for the opportunity
