UK talent and modelling agency Talent Management is a company that prides itself on providing a diverse range of looks and talents to their clients. The result is that business representatives go to them – and dedicated modelling branch Models Direct – and are able to book a model with confidence, even when they have a very specific requirement in mind.

Talent Management and Models Direct can provide the right person for almost any brief imaginable and this is one of the reasons that they have an impressive client history behind them, including names such as Barclays Bank, Cadburys, Calvin Klein, Disney, Estée Lauder, GMTV, Harrods, London Eye, Nintendo Wii, Sony and more. First time and repeat clients may go to them direct or they may use a marketing company to find them, either way the feedback provided following assignments gives Talent Management and Models Direct confidence that they are doing great job for every client.

Whether it is simply a model of a certain shape, size, age or race, or there is an additional specific requirement, in the form of a particular talent or specialist skill, Talent Management and Models Direct are able to offer a selection from which the client can choose the right person for them. Talents on the books include singers, dancers, entertainers, presenters, actors and musicians and a professional booking agent matches the right models and/or talents to each and every assignment with care.

It has taken 22 years of experience to turn Talent Management into the well-oiled machine that it is today. When the company began as an ambitious yet modest business in 1990 photography enthusiast (now Managing Director) Damian O’Connor and his wife, passionate talent and modelling agent Suzy O’Connor used to deal with all the talent and model bookings themselves.

Damian explains how the company developed into the success it is today: “I started by photographing people and using those pictures, finding work. Men, women and children, in catalogues, features, films, TV and fashion shows.”

“From taking the photographs ourselves, my wife Suzy and I went on to represent people farther afield, using photographs they had taken to find them work. Whenever we we’re asked for a particular look, talent or skill, we would match our models and talent with the clients’ demand and if successful, ‘presto’ a booking would happen. For more than 20 years now this has happened and many thousands of people, with all manner of looks, skills and motivations have been represented by us to the film, TV, advertising, fashion and promotional industries throughout the UK and Europe. We have an in house team of professionals on the phones and online throughout the day, talking to clients and proposing our talent and models for paid work.”
