Testimonials
“Kate is the agent all actors hope to find. She is a fantastic communicator & has so much time for each of her clients and knows them all on a personal level. She is a true friend as much as agent. I feel in such safe hands going to her with any issues, both professionally and personally and her kind and caring approach to the work and thorough understanding of this industry is simply invaluable."

I have auditions regularly for a whole host of different, amazing and interesting projects, which is why I got into acting! I feel like I can talk to her about anything and she is always willing to listen. It feels like we are a team. I cannot recommend her highly enough."
