London – our nation’s capital – is undoubtedly the heartbeat of the financial, retail and political sectors in the UK. Many capital cities are industry centres, but not all. London, however, is one of the most recognised cities in the world and still attracts millions of visitors every year.
But is London the centre of everything in our country? Nearly 50 million Brits would say it isn’t!
We made the decision to open a new office in London a few months ago to make it easier to accommodate modelling bookings in and around London – and to assist our team with bookings we make all across the country, from the north of Scotland to Northern Ireland and Wales and the whole of England. We even have opportunities for our models to work their modelling magic in France, Spain and other locations abroad. So, we’re a multinational agency, and as important as London is, we know there are thousands of jobs available every year for models of all ages in every corner of the UK.
Of course, you can be a successful commercial model if you live outside London. That goes without saying. From 35 years’ experience as an elite modelling employment agency, we’ve secured modelling jobs for every kind of model everywhere in the UK.
What’s the best way to be a model and work with a host of global brands and small businesses around the UK? The four most effective ways are:
Focus on the fact that London is not the be-all-and-end-all. We offer plenty of assignments for the right models every week all around the country.
Choose the right modelling employment agency for you. Reputable employment agencies actively seek work for talented models. By choosing us, you’ll be one step ahead of other models that haven’t registered with a forward-thinking, proactive agency.
Thoroughly read industry advice and tips.
Be realistic. You may not be offered a job very soon after signing up with an agency. This is normal. Plenty of models do taste success soon after registering, but not all. Because of the amount of jobs on offer and the amount of quality talent, commercial modelling is competitive. But don’t lose heart. Keep your personal Models Direct portfolios updated and keep the faith!
