modelinscene signs new editor

We’re now 1 year on and really excited about the May issue and the year ahead. The biggest and most exciting news for us is that we have a new Editor, by the name of Josie Poole - welcome on board Josie!

Josie has a modelling agency background and joined us 5 weeks ago. This is her 1st issue in post and we think it’s a cracker. We're certainly looking forward to seeing what Josie can produce in future issues now that she has her feet under the table. In our opinion, the best modelling and photographic magazine just got better!

Please join us in wishing Josie well in her new capacity!
