MEET OUR TEAM
Nicky Greyling
Owner
After being in management in the Travel Industry for many years I decided it was time to move into something different where I could be more flexible and spend more time and be more involved with my 2 children growing up. In the very early days of Kool Kids they both did castings and shoots which was wonderful because it allowed me the first hand opportunity to experience being behind the scenes (as the agent) as well as on set and get a fabulous all round exposure.
Bianca Brombin
Operations Manager
Before joining Kool Kids team, she was on the international runways and gracing the covers of magazines such as Elle, Glamour, People and more.
Bianca was part of the modelling scene for over 12 years and worked both locally and internationally. Although absolutely loving the glitz and glam of the industry, she wanted a bit more from life, something more challenging and more stability – that is when she decided to let go of a very successful modelling career and set up a permanent base in Cape Town.
Soon Bianca joined the Kool Kids Casting team as the Operations Manager and she has now been a part of the family since January 2022.
Her vision is to help make kids dreams come true – just like hers were made so many years before.
Thanks Bianca for being an amazing addition to the team – onwards and upwards!
