Bronia Buchanan, agency director, commented, Thank you to the judges, the CIA and those who voted for the agency and of course to our fantastic clients, who are at the heart of everything we do at BBA Management. The team & I are privileged to work with exceptional Casting Directors, Producers, Creatives & Actors. BBA is a family, together we have survived the lockdowns when nothing was happening, the recovery when everything was happening and then Omicron when the industry came to standstill once again. I feel very fortunate to lead an all-female team of exceptionally kind, supportive, dedicated & knowledgeable agents. We look forward to facilitating many more fantastic opportunities for our clients in the years ahead.
