I just wanted to say how welcomed I felt and how lovely, warm and kind James was. He gave me a crash course in the culture of entertainment modelling, casting and talent. He took so much time to show me the ropes and lended me so much expertise on to how to maximise my job opportunities, how to manage my socia media profile properly and so much more. He has a big heart and has taken me under his wing, the agency is more of a family. They care and are excellent :)

Hi Sunita,
Those kind words have warmed our heart. We work really hard to make sure all of our clients feel like part of a family rather than a name and a number. You are learning super fast and teaching me how to your emojis too!

Good evening everyone

Good evening everyone

I really like the staff atmosphere and efficiency of this company. First of all, I would like to thank Tamim, james and lilly who helped me because I am not familiar with and understand the local culture, language and communication, but they are not only very patient. The attitude to answer my questions is also very good. This makes me have a very good impression of this company, especially James. He called me to explain my problem. When I knew he was the boss, I was very shocked. James not only didn’t have the boss’s tone and attitude. It is also very good and helped me solve many problems! I think the boss of a company can do this personally for this company. It will not be worse. At least so far, I have not seen any boss of a manager company do this. This shocked me and made me feel about this. The company is full of confidence

By zero

Hi Zero,
Thank you for your review of Little Big door. You are a pleasure to speak with and multi talented - a huge addition to our agency. I do not see myself as "The Boss" but more so as part of a fantastic team. Without good, honest and trustworthy colleagues around me, the business would not be as successful. So i am thanking you from the whole team!

An agency that shames customers

They are an agency that prove to be professional but all they do is Shame the applicants if we find out about them. They approached me saying that I have to pay a registration fee for signing up, they'll make the portfolio for me(for which they'll charge hundreds) . In general no genuine agency takes money from a model for recruiting her/him. I felt suspicious which is why I did not reply back. They called me again and I voiced out my concern by saying, I cannot afford that much money, and I don't think anyone asks for registration fee anywhere to hire models. I voiced out my opinion in a very polite way. They reply back saying we have rejected your application cos you are unworthy of joining us. You were really rude to the staff and you have zero industry knowledge about how talent agency works. Your attitude is bad which is why we are rejecting you . LOL I never accepted their offer for then to reject me. Just because I exposed them and it hurt their ego ,they took the upper hand in rejecting me and branding my character for them to remove me from their list. That's the most shallow thing anyone can do, let alone a "professional" agency like theirs.I just put forward my concern as a customer and their job is to give me trust to join the agency rather than shaming me by saying "my attitude is bad, I have poor domain knowledge, and I was rude" what a "smart " move.
This is not the way a genuine agency reacts to a customer feedback. This is how they show their "professionalism".
Would never recommend!
Do not waste your money on "registration fees" and god knows when they'll call you back with a casting. Never work with an agency that treats the employees bad.
Rather spend this money on a vacation!

Hi Shivani,
Thank you for your review of Little Big Door. We have found your review a little confusing and think you might have us confused with a studio that can often charge large amounts for portfolios. We did contact the studio from where you advised you had been given our details to apply and there was no record of your attendance. We have the right to refuse representation and respect that it is often not easy to hear. You have clearly been upset by this and we would be happy to discuss further if you would like to contact the office on 07432159115.
Kind Regards
Little Big Door Management

Inspiring

We’re Completely new to modelling so knowing what to do/who to sign with was a big decision. My daughter Aoife (pronounced ‘ee fa’ 😉 just for you James haha) had a fab first photoshoot a few weeks ago after which we were contacted by at least 6 agencies, some still getting in touch now. Out of all these agencies LBD stood out instantly, before even having a telephone conversation with the absolutely gorgeous James. I felt like I’d known him for years and spent a considerable amount of time chatting. He advised me on the next steps, what to look out for, what to do/what not to do, which was massively appreciated as I hadn’t a clue! Since this initial call I’ve had regular emails, messages and calls with several members of the Little Big Door team, who are all truly welcoming and inspiring. They guide me in the right direction and I know what needs done in going forward. This is something that I understand needs time and effort putting in if I want Aoife to get work, which we are 100% willing to do. I’m just so grateful for the advice and support and know that we’ve 100% gone with the PERFECT agency. Thanks LBD and we’re super excited to be part of the team. ⭐️

I was called by a very kind and personable representative from the agency and treated with immediate respect and understanding. I have since registered with the agency and am pleased to have joined a caring institution in what can be a relatively hostile industry.

Amazing, deffo feel I have made the best decision

I have had a couple offers from different modelling agencies but feel as though I have made the best choice by going with Little Big Door Company. Just came off the phone with Lilly and she is so down to earth and genuine. (Answered all of my questions) Can’t wait to see what happens in the future with this company :)

Amazing agency

Lilly Shiels and James was really amazing when speaking on the phone to them both. I could tell they was really nice genuine people and I haven’t even met them yet! When speaking to James he didn’t sugarcoat anything and told me what I needed to hear rather then what I wanted to hear and I respect that a lot. If you was thinking to sign to littlebigdoors I would say yes as it’s a good agency who will help you through out your journey in being a model. Thank you James and Lilly Shiels.😊

Best decision I ever made

Well what can I say about this fabulous company?
Firstly I have to say a massive thank you to James. Not only does he have the most Amazing personality, gives the best advice, is so supportive and is just an all round angel to me! The confidence and drive he gives me is unreal and I am forever grateful. I am very much looking forward to creating your mega idea with "the coke can"

Everyone at this agency is so helpful and supportive, if I were to give any advice on choosing an agency it would hands down be these guys. If it wasn't for this agency I wouldn't have the faith in myself to do this at all.
Thank you all for being the best cheerleaders and a 12/10 agency!

FANTASTIC

I've just been signed to this great Agency. James has been amazing, very supportive. I have been quite anxious and struggling with my first self tape. James has got back to me, even as busy as he is. He has more than re-assured and guided me with his positivity and encouragement. I already believe in myself so much more. He is more than professional and straight to the point. I feel very comfortable talking to him and he makes me feel so at ease. Talking to James is like talking to one of my close friends. I couldn't be more grateful. I'm now so excited and looking forward to my journey with Little Big Door. Thank you so much James

Well well well...

Well.. I don't know where to start. I cant thank James enough for not only supporting both my children through this journey but supporting me to. He listens, he generally cares, and is always at the end of the phone, never have I ever met someone so warm hearted and genuine. A true diamond. The support for my children is second to none, absolutely amazing, training programmes with clear instruction and not lead with false hope. The first honest company I have come across. Of course I signed my children straight up! do I regret it? No way!!

The company doesn't lie, its upfront and honest, they send out little training programmes to help your children grow and adapt, they are 5 minute tasks that really do help build there confidence.

I have recently been able to join James and his team and I couldn't be happier, a new journey with new opportunity in an area of work I would of never imagined, not only the start of an amazing journey for my two children but for me aswell

I cant thank you enough!

My Immeasurable Gratitude- The Best Agency?

Growing up and aspiring to be a model, this agency supplies you like none other. With a wonderful team who are willing to connect and socialize, but most importantly, ensure you progress in the industry, it is needless to say that this agency takes the top spot. James, a member of the Little Big Door team, has always been there to help me catch up and place my two feet firmly in this industry. One thing in particular has really stood out to me about Little Big Door, they oppose theory with reality; unlike other agencies who will fool you into thinking they’ve got a job guaranteed for you before you have even signed with them, Little Big Door really reminds you that reality requires you to put in the effort, update your profile and get into contact with photographers through social media. This agency really prioritizes experience and opportunity taking like no other. If you are anxious or struggling with your next steps or even your first steps, James, Peter and the wonderful, polite and hardworking Team are here. That’s right, James even replied back to me on his off day! To not be with this agency is indeed a great loss, but to be with it, is most definitely a great amount of personal gain. Sign with them now!

The Agency For You

Words fail to define how good of an agency Little Big Door actually is. Not only have they been honest with me from the start but the owner and director himself James has been a heaven sent given how he's helped me in ways many I'm positive no other agency would help especially a start up model such as myself. I look forward to my journey with Little Big Door as I honestly couldn't have asked for a better agency.

Such an amazing agency.

I've had a lot of experiences with scam agencies. But when James from little big door contacted me I knew right away this was the right agency. Talking to James on the phone was like talking to an old friend you've known for years, he gave me all the right advice, never stopped complimenting me but was also straight to the point and knew what to say and how to say it professionally. The whole team are like one big family, they make you feel so comfortable and loved no matter who you talk to but they also know how to get you started. Peter is amazing he helped me get set up online and he's such a polite person, I couldn't be more grateful for everyone. I've never been happier being represented by them and I'm looking forward to the future and working with them more. Thank you guys so much.

Super proud to be part of Little Big Door!!

Since I have joined Little Big Door I have been given so much support and guidance, from the staff, without this I would not have had the confidence to have completed the self tapes and gain the knowledge and understanding of how this industry works.

They make me believe in myself, this empowers me to aim for that BIG job I know I will acheive one day.

Thank you Little Big Door for all you do!!

You are such an inspiration to other teenagers that are looking at how to get started in this tough industry. You have hard working ethics, a quickness to learn and a wonderful disposition which even some adults would be ashamed of not having! Ann your support is second to non on Jacobs journey and we are here to support you both! Together working is much easier!!!
Thanks for the review
