The Agency Consultant

June Collins started her career as a dancer and ice skater and after her marriage, went on to produce amateur variety shows at various venues in and around London.

In 1961 Mrs. Collins joined forces with Barbara Speake and agreed to run a theatrical agency for her part-time school. In 1963 the full time school was opened and the rest is history. However, it is remarkable to note that in her own right, Mrs. Collins has over 40 years experience as a Theatrical Agent and has always had the knack of discovering talented youngsters, which the stage school then nurtures. It is to her credit that among the better known past pupils such as Jack Wild (Oscar nomination as The Artful Dodger in the film 'Oliver!'), Michele Gayle, Sylvestra le Touzel, Naomi Campbell, Sara Sugarman, Davis Parfitt, Jayne Collins, Bobby Collins, Mark Summers, Brian Conley, Lindy Layton, Peter Newton, Geoff Stevens, and of course her own son, Phil Collins owe their beginnings.
