NEWS FLASH *****

Urban Angels North models books are currently open and will close on Sunday 12th September at 10.00pm. Please only apply if you live above Birmingham, Urban Angels South will be intaking late November 2010.

Urban Angels was set up in January 2003 by Alysia Lewis as a new concept in child modelling; an agency with a strong philosophy behind it. That concept was “to reflect diversity and illustrate unity”.

After 12 years in Fashion PR Alysia saw a gap in the kids agencies when 7 years ago a friends little boy who was mixed race got turned down by 3 London kids agents. Five years on urban angels now has become one of London’s leading Children’s Model agencies. All the urban angels the agency represents reflect the make up of the diverse urban society we now live in. Our babies through to teens of 16, are from over 50 different countries and cultures, including amongst others Chinese, Japanese, Russian, Columbian, Bulgarian, African, Greek, Malaysian, Brazilian, and Italian.

November 2008 saw the launch of Urban Angels North with the same company philosophy extending to cover the north of England to as far up as Newcastle.

*Urban Angels approach is to be a fun family based agency, which deals with all our models, parents and clients on a first name basis. Our friendly, down to earth, yet professional approach has clients returning to us and our models and parents always feeling valued.

*Our Angel Mums have said about us:
“For myself I have enjoyed your efficient yet very friendly way of running things and with fifteen years of dealings with kid’s model agents of my own I am sure that the clients must feel the same.”

“Just wanted to say a big thank you for being The Most Wonderful Agent… not that I have had any experience with agents but from what I hear from other mum’s YOU shine out from them all. You make it all worth while from the moment we first spoke to this day now, you have great respect from many photo shoot gangs, who all say that it’s always a pleasure to obtain models from you…”

“Im am soooooooooooooo happy to be on your books and for my little one to join all the other gorgeous Urban Angels. I know you guys are the best in the industry and am looking forward to a fabulous relationship with you guys!!”

“I look at your website on a monthly basis and have to say it is looking quite impressive now !!! I  love Urban Angels so much because you are a real person who knows about being a parent !!!”

“The other day I actually stopped and counted back the number of castings and jobs the girls have had in the last year and I just couldn’t believe it really!  We have tons of really lovely pictures, they have travelled all over the UK and abroad, been given gorgeous clothes, shoes and dolls houses!, put money away for the future - and next Friday Emily has her first show as Brigitta in the Sound of Music (which still seems completely unreal!!).  We, and they feel truly truly lucky to be part of such a fab agency and are so grateful for all the work that goes on to make everything happen……….Thanks guys you’re stars xxxxxxxxxx”
