Meet The Team: New Faces & Production

written by
Rhiannon Bond**

In today's blog we're meeting the wonderful Katie on our New Faces desk who works through hundreds of your applications each week, she loves meeting you all and finding new talent! We're also getting to know our fabulous locations & production duo, Emma & Rhiannon.

 

Katie Barnes - Head of New Faces

Introducing Katie, Katie has worked at SR for over 13 years in various roles, taking two career breaks to have her two children! Katie originally joined Emma and Maria on the booking desk back in 2007, she started out as a Junior Booker and Studio Manager where she also developed her newly qualified make-up and styling skills. She is now an established make-up artist working on commercial briefs with some of our great models and actors, as well as private bridal clients in her spare time. 

 

Katie rejoined the team in 2020 and now works as Head of New Faces on our recruitment desk. Processing hundreds of applications every week, Katie works tirelessly to find fabulous new faces and undiscovered talent as well as established artists and work with them in our in-house studios...

 

In her spare time, you'll find Katie relaxing with her friends and family, hopefully at the beach! In the winter months, she is happiest watching films and eating sweet treats. Katie says her proudest achievement is her two gorgeous daughters and is at her absolute happiest going on adventures and holidays with her family. She tells us that she is bossy, but we like to think of her in a way she does the women she's inspired by - strong and independent, just like her Mum!

Emma Keal - Client Account Manager

With over 20 years of experience in booking and producing, Emma has recently taken on the role of Client Account Manager working alongside Rhiannon! Emma is constantly busy working on client enquiries, building relationships with location owners & clients and seeing production jobs through from first enquiry to the finished product which is so rewarding.

 

Emma started out her career at a TV Production company and originally joined SR as a Junior Booker, then Head Booker for over a decade! Remembering hundreds of model and client telephone numbers by heart is only one of her many skills and we are looking forward to the day she can backflip across the office as acrobatics is the thing she would love to learn to do! 

 

Becoming a mother is Emma's proudest achievement and being married to one of our favourite photographers means that her job never really stops. She relaxes by running to very loud house music and is happiest with her family by the sea, possibly camping and preferably in Ibiza. As one of the most positive people we know, Emma hates negativity and bad manners in others and says the best thing about working at SR is "our gorgeous and fabulous team - my second family".

 

Rhiannon Bond - Locations Agent

 

Locations Agent, Rhiannon joined the team just before lockdown 1.0 and therefore began her job spending more time at home than in the office but loved all the chats and fun we had on Zoom & Slack. Working alongside Emma, Rhiannon works on client bookings for locations but also works to source incredible locations across the UK to offer to our clients for a whole host of briefs for fashion, interiors, lifestyle and so much more... She loves that no two days are the same, it's always super busy and she gets to use her organisational skills with many a spreadsheet for her and Emma to share. 

 

When Rhiannon started at SR we asked her what her goals were for 2020... she told us she would love to have a puppy of her own one day and was aiming to do 'Dry 2020'. We now have the absolute pleasure of playing with Rhi's puppy Grace in the studio when she comes to visit and can confirm Rhiannon did a whole year without a glass of prosecco or a cocktail last year (how did she do it?!)

 

In her spare time, she loves walking her pup, renovating her house and having a Sunday evening pamper session before a busy week ahead. Her favourite thing about her job is sourcing and visiting amazing locations and getting all the interior inspo for her own home, making every day full of inspiration.

 

If you're thinking of applying on behalf of your child to Sandra Reynolds Juniors, Katie is the one to get in touch with! You can contact her at [email protected] or fill in our recruitment form here!
