MEET OUR TALENT

Meet Joanna Chimonides, who was the first female to join our Webbe Industries family. 

Joanna was born in 1996, growing up in London with her mum, dad, two brothers and one sister – family was a big part of her upbringing having very close relationships with each member of her family. You could say that is the Greek Cypriot in her – family and food being two of her favourite things.

After successfully completing her school education and an undergraduate Psychology BSc degree in Leicester, 

Joanna experienced her taste of the modelling industry by working with small brands in their advertising campaigns. Joanna's career stepped up to the next level when she joined our Webbe Industries family and the summer cast of ITV2's Love Island in 2019.

Since then, Joanna has been a regular feature in the press, has presented on radio for FUBAR Radio, become the co-host on a popular BBC Radio 1 podcast and graced our screen on BBC's Eating With My Ex.

Joanna has also launched her own fast-growing YouTube channel, and collaborated with brands including Pandora, Nike, JD Sports, Missguided, boohoo, boohooMAN, Iconic, Rebellious Fashion, Shein, GHD, Missy Empire, Boux Avenue, SIMMI, Public Desire, Tanologist, Coco & Eve, Quiz Clothing and many more.

Introducing Francesca Allen – our Essex-born Brunette Bombshell.

Francesca, to her friends and family known as ‘Fran’, was born in November 1995 and grew up in Redbridge, Essex with her parents, Barbara and Laurence, older brother, Laurence and older sister, Claudia – Fran has always been family-oriented with loyalty and protectiveness in her Scorpio blood.

During her school years, Fran’s favourite subjects were Art and Textiles which is where her passion for all-things Fashion and Beauty began. To anyone who already knows Fran, it also won’t come as a surprise that ‘chatterbox’ often frequented her school reports! When her school years concluded, Fran embarked on her next venture and headed to college to study studying Beauty Therapies. It wasn’t long after leaving college that Fran came into her own as she started working with her sister in Fashion and that’s where Bonnie & Clyde 162 was born. Interestingly, Fran isn’t a shopper who procrastinates searching through the aisles endlessly – she knows what she wants, and she goes and gets it!

Fran is very open and attracts those around her with her endearing, unapologetically real personality – a fun fact you won’t know about her from her childhood is that she used to charge her friends to pimp up their trainers and would only ever style up and wear charity shop purchases.

It was during 2019 when Fran decided to embark on a new type of adventure, joining the cast of ITV2’s Love Island.

There’s no denying that Fran became the season stylist in the villa – piecing outfits together for all of the girls to put their best foot forward and find love. Since leaving the villa, Fran has had her fair share of accolades and achievements – to name a few she’s had her very own In The Style edit, worked with Naomi Campbell for Fashion for Relief, been a guest on Planet Radio's Kiss FM, appeared on the front cover of Absolutely Essex, and is regularly featured in the showbiz headlines and in OK! Magazine for outfit inspiration.

Say hello to our ‘Smoggie’, Harry Johnson.

Harry grew up in a small village called Great Ayton in Middlesbrough with his ‘Mam’, dad and two brothers who he has always been very close to. How could we introduce Harry, without homage to his Northern colloquialisms?

Since Harry was young and during his school years, he was always described as confident, outgoing, charming and a likeable character which no doubt got him in trouble on many occasions for talking too much in class. While studying, no particular subject or career path stood out to him but after a work experience opportunity with a tree surgery company arose with a family friend, Harry’s interests with sparked and he adventured to Askham Bryan College in York to study an NVQ Level 2 in Arboriculture. Ambitious or teacher’s pet? You decide…but Harry won the award for best student on course and completed the course early. After college, Harry went on to work as a tree surgeon for many years.

After 7 years climbing trees and exploring all that Arboriculture offered, Harry fancied a new challenge that would quench his thirst for adventure – so off he went, he booked a one-way flight to Ayia Napa where he went on to work as a rep for two seasons. Followed by escapades in South-East Asia and Dubai, where he eventually signed as a model.

It was during Harry’s repping days that he started to build up connections in the television world, becoming part of the cast of E4’s Rep Wars which he won and more recently, Netflix’s popular dating show, Too Hot to Handle, which he also went onto win. Harry loves all-thing sport: football, cycling, walking, running, and going to the gym – you name it.

In order to take his career to the next level, Harry has packed up his bags and relocated to Essex. We’re excited that Harry is part of our Webbe Industries family.

Meet the lovely Amelia. Born in 1997 in the beautiful Berkshire countryside into a big family, Amelia being the youngest of five with one sister and three brothers (plus two dogs – how could we forget them?). Her upbringing took her on many paths but it’s safe to say, you can take the girl out of the countryside but can’t take the countryside out of the girl!

During her school years, Amelia chose to study Psychology, Dance and History. Amelia’s love of dance began at the age of three when she started attending classes, until she was 19 years old when the desire to travel took control. Before university, Amelia headed on an enviable adventure for six months to Japan, Thailand, Philippines, Bali, Australia and Los Angeles (Jealous much?).

In 2020, Amelia graduated from the University of Sussex in Psychology. She loved learning about people, how they behave, what acts on their subconscious behaviour, their brains and well, EVERYTHING! It was during university that Amelia discovered her love for weight training and fitness which is when she first created her Fitness-focused Instagram, posting work outs and recipes. Although Amelia is a Libra, who are known for being indecisive. One thing she’s not decisive about is the direction she’s taking. Fashion has always been a huge part of her life. When she’s not working out, you might (most probably will) find her scrolling on ASOS for hours on end to find the latest pieces – her favourite brands range from Zara through to Nike, Adidas, and Urban Outfitters. Who else’s style depends on their mood? Amelia eats, sleeps and breathes body positivity, promoting her weight gain on her fitness Instagram as an empowering process which men and women should not be afraid of. This is when her Instagram really started to take off!

Amelia has already worked with a whole host of brands from Bulk Powers, MyProtein and Women’s Best through to Topshop, Bo+Tee, Lounge Underwear, I Saw It First, Bondi Sands, PrettyLittleThing, and Mejuri.

Outside of dentistry, music is his main passion.

The much-loved “Singing Dentist” has since gained a huge following on social media with his online videos gaining over 250 million views combined.

Milad’s infectious personality paired with his lyrical prowess has been the catalyst to an authentic transition onto mainstream TV, establishing himself as the go-to media dental clinician with appearances on ITV’s This Morning, Good Morning Britain and Lorraine, BBC News, Sky News plus, countless radio appearances. He has written for and been written about in numerous publications and has been voted the Number 1 ‘Most Influential person’ in Dentistry three times in the last four years.

He is undoubtedly one of the most recognisable dentists in the world, managing to bridge the gap between the dentist and the general public, and as a result, patients travel from all over the world to see him in his clinic in Hampshire. He has also been a key opinion leader for many brands and has lectured extensively both in the UK and abroad.

Our latest addition to the Webbe Industries family, Tyler Cruickshank, is best known from being a memorable face from the seventh season of ITV2's Love Island, finishing in fourth place.

Growing up in South London with his mum, dad and two brothers – Tyler was extremely close to his family and followed in their footsteps by focusing on education and excelling academically.

During Tyler's school years, he played every sport imaginable and represented his school and even his county in Football and Athletics while also playing semi-profession football for Croydon Athletic. Sadly, his bright-looking future in football took a turn for the worse when he suffered a drastic knee injury and was side-lined for two years. From this point in his upbringing, Tyler found his escape in the gym and went on to study Law at St Mary's University in London.

Modelling and Television has always been an avenue that he wanted to explore, and he's not shy to a compliment or two, suggesting he should pursue that pathway. During University, Tyler was approached by top modelling agencies, but studying Law was always priority and he passed on the opportunity to give the flashing lights of the photographer's camera a good go. Tyler finally decided after his degree to chance his arm when he was scouted to jet off to the sunny Balearic Island, Mallorca, to look for love.

With Tyler's enviable looks, towering presence and academic background, he is one to watch as we embark on his journey post-Love Island. Since leaving the villa, Tyler has already worked with brands including Spotify, Couture Club, Sony Pictures UK, boohooMAN, plus more. He's even Skydived with ISAWITFIRST for Homeless House Charity!

Oh, and did we mention that he’s a massive Arsenal FC supporter?

It’s safe to say that fitness is in Tom’s blood having spent most of his life in a boxing gym looking up to his dad, Jim McDonnell, former European Champion Professional Boxer turned Boxing Coach. Exposure to training fighters such as Danny Williams who beat Mike Tyson and James DeGale who was the first British fighter to win an Olympic gold medal and world title, Tom’s competitive and athletic nature truly came to light.
