Beautiful Babes – Company Profile

 

Established in 1980 in Edinburgh , Scotland , Beautiful Babes is managed by James Foley, a well known and respected figure in the modelling world. His aim at the outset was to build a strong fashion/commercial agency in Scotland , in order to provide models to clients for assignments both in the UK and for overseas shoots. The provision of this sort of quality service at a time when demand was increasing worldwide meant that the agency expanded rapidly, and now we have branches in New York , Los Angeles , Buenos Aires , Berlin and Moscow . We believe in engaging the right people, giving opportunities to those with the talent, ability and confidence to do a professional job and who wish to make a career in the competitive modelling and promotion business.

 

Models registered with us are selected either on their experience and skills or on their potential. Although we have a business relationship with our models, we make a point of getting to know them individually, and we offer them guidance and training where needed. As an agent we expect and only recruit the best. Although we represent models and work in their best interests, we are equally committed to giving our clients our full support and professional services.

 

At Beautiful Babes, we are committed to building our business on our reputation and the ability to deliver. We also place emphasis on our reliability which is as important to us as looks!

 

Our current register of models, both male and female, all specialise in different categories of modelling work. We also represent younger models, male and female, from 4-14 years old. Although we are best known for our extensive catalogue of Nordic models, representing over 200 blonde, blue-eyed beauties, we are sensitive to the requirements of local markets, and we have recruited a broad range of models from Latin America , as well as from among Afro-Americans. We firmly believe that the beauty of our planet lies in its diversity.
