About Us

Christian started his career in 1988 in Chicago, which was nothing like the musical, before heading to Tinseltown in 1990 to make his dreams come true. As an alumnus of the Triad Artists mail room, delivering packages in Armani suits he could not afford, he worked with such legends as Hylda Queally and Nicole David. He then met Lorraine Hamilton, widely known as the nicest lady in showbusiness. Disoriented by jetlag, lorazepam and a good Bordeaux, she apparently offered him a job. He joined her in London shortly thereafter in June 1993. He worked his way up from assistant to agent, company director, partner and in 2008 became the managing director. He is extremely proud to carry on Lorraine's tradition.

Three broken sofas later and procrastination over his theme tune meant he decided to pursue the much tougher, yet more exciting profession of talent management!

Josh found his way to HH after studying law at Nottingham Law School but decided to swap legal practice for legal dramas and has never looked back.

However, after the heartbreaking realisation that this probably wasn’t for her, she left the tartan backdrop of Edinburgh for the bright lights of New York City to study and further hone her love for the business they call Show. Missing her home comforts she hopped on a plane to London where she spends her time eating spaghetti bolognese and straightening her hair.

...but it turns out those hips did lie and Saffron realised belly dancing probably wasn't for her.

After studying Theatre and Performance at the University of Leeds, Saffron shimmied home to London to do a stint in theatre administration before setting her sights on HH.

Having been taken under the wing of Alexander Cooke, Saffron hung up her dancing shoes and has never looked back. Swanning the office, you'll probably find her mimicking Cookie's northern accent or having a good old natter with Jules at the front desk.

Born and bred in West London, Lola cast her web further afield and studied Psychology at the University of Manchester before travelling around South America to “find herself".

Having found nothing short of a hangover she returned to London and truly found her home at HH. 

Joseph work​ed​ in Fashion PR at Starworks Group for 5 years. He then worked as a personal publicist for actors in Film, Television and Theatre.

Having accumulated the perfect requisite skills, he landed on his feet as ​a member of the Commercial​s​ and Voice-over ​division at HH.

Trading the dog life for the high life, he's been brightening our door for many a year.  Indeed his first-ever job out of university was with Hamilton Hodell before he roamed away to dabble in the occult arts of Production and Business Affairs at Carnival Films and Channel 4.  

He returned to us in due course, complete with a dumbbell in one hand and a protein shake in the other.  He's still not a labrador, but he does like belly rubs.

Adam holds an MBA from Warwick Business School.

After graduating from the University of Leeds in Communication and Media, Nicky dipped her toes into the world of animation and VFX as a Production Assistant. She eventually found herself in the Commercial and Voice-Over division at HH, living out her dream, as Joseph and Daniel's back up dancer.

She grew up in Mumbai, India, and pursued a degree in commerce.  She found love in an accountant, and they decided to move to London together to see what life had in store.  Jhanvi joined the HH family in 2006, and with her invaluable experience and knowledge across the talent industry, she has progressed from an accounts assistant to a Client Account Manager.  She has the honorary title of "Hamilton Hodell's Secret Weapon", which was bestowed upon her by Christian Hodell.  Jhanvi feels proud that her childhood dream to marry a Media World is now a mission accomplished.  

But after a short stint in the kitchens at Langan's, he decided that he'd much rather do the eating than cooking. Plan B was to win Wimbledon, however this also fell through! Eventually, he moved from Harrogate to work as a runner, before finally being tempted by the glamour of finance!

From childhood dreams of wanting to save those in danger to the world of Human Resources in the music industry and charity sector, Ann brings a passion for helping people by making a difference in the workplace.  Outside the office, you will find her on a yoga mat!

She started enjoying the theatre when she studied Shakespeare for her GCSEs.  Her finance experience began after working in a cheese shop on Jermyn Street, where she became their invoice clerk and went on to qualify as a Bookkeeper.  She currently works in the Finance Office at Hamilton Hodell, but at lunch can be found in Whole Foods buying pomegranate juice.

Now he prefers travelling in the ‘nice part of the plane’. Hailing from Southampton, Daniel has always had an avid interest in fashion and all things creative. As such, life took him to art school to gain a degree in fashion design before subsequently working in luxury fashion PR for 10 years, as a talent specialist. He worked for multiple brands such as Cartier and Christian Louboutin, before landing safely within the Brand Partnerships and Commercial division at HH, now the sky's the limit!

Sadly when she realised this couldn't fill the coffers year round - she studied law, joined the RHS managing the "shopping" part of their flower shows before working her way up at the BFI.

Rachael joined HH as an associate in Christian's office in Autumn 2023 and is now Head of Industry Relations.

But quickly realised he was better at watching from the stands than playing on the pitch. After studying Exercise Psychology for three years, he swapped sports for the spotlight and made the move into Talent Management.

Tom began his career at Denton Brierley in 2023 before joining Hamilton Hodell. After cutting his teeth in Christian’s office, he now joins the formidable forces of Lola Boothby and Adam Hogan.

These days she’s not on stage singing a pitch perfect Baby One More Time — she’s behind the scenes, making stars shine.

Hailing from the North (Sunderland ’Til I Die!), Kate followed her love of performing down to the big smoke, training at East 15 Acting School. After graduating, she joined Independent Talent Group before landing at HH.

Note to reader: She’s not that innocent.
