To our valued clients and suppliers,

24 years to the day since I started The Kitchen and after many creative collaborations and shared successes, I am announcing the closure of the agency effective 30th June 2024.

The last 24 years have been filled with countless achievements and milestones. I am immensely proud of the business I have built, the artists I have represented and the team of agents and producers who have been instrumental in making the agency the success it has been.  

The landscape of the industry has evolved rapidly in recent years and the technical revolution continues to present new challenges and opportunities. To remain at the top of the game requires a pursuit of excellence and an unwavering dedication, something I have done tirelessly over the years. I am now at a stage in my life where I wish to make that commitment to my family and other personal endeavours.

I would like to express my deepest gratitude to the artists for their unwavering dedication, creativity, and passion throughout the years. Your talent, hard work, and commitment have been the driving force behind the agency's success, and I am immensely proud of all that we have accomplished. Together, we have produced ground-breaking work, forged lasting relationships with clients, and left an indelible mark on the creative landscape. 

It takes a team of dedicated professionals to deliver excellence, so I am immensely grateful to all the amazing crew and suppliers who have been loyal and hardworking for so many years.  

To our valued clients, thank you for entrusting us with your business and for the creative collaborations we have shared. It has been a pleasure working alongside so many amazing businesses, creative agencies and creative minds.  

I am committed to facilitating a smooth transition for all parties. For jobs currently being quoted or in production, we will continue to provide our full service until completion.

For rollover and usage enquiries, I will continue to monitor and manage re-use requests sent to the following email: [email protected].

As each of our artists are slowly being re-homed, future job enquiries will be forwarded to the photographer directly or their new agent.

Kind regards, 

Shannon Stoddart

Managing Director
