Hi all. I sent the following email to bizzykidz about 45 mins ago as I was concerned about the comments being made about them on here and also because my daughter has yet to get work with them:
Hi. I have twice before asked bizzykidz to let me know exactly what jobs my
daughter has been put forward for since we joined you. Both times I had no
direct answer. I am sure you are aware of a site called "Mumsnet" and the
general opionion about you on there. This is obviously worrying reading along
with talk of you being investigated by the DTI.
As I have paid you £94 to join I think I am entitled to know what jobs Tia has
been put forward for since we joined. I understand that loads of jobs are not
guranteed but we have been with you for quite a while and still nothing.
If I knew you were putting my daughter forward for stuff that would at least
throw some light on the situation.
Please do not send me the standard email about you putting forward children you
think are suitable.
As it is my daughter I am sure you can divulge what stuff she has been put up
for.

About ten minutes after I sent the email I had a phone call from Debi Clark the manager of Bizzy Kidz. She said she had read my email with interest and wanted to have a chat to clear up things. She was genuinely concerned and was more than happy to answer all my questions.
She went on to explain in great depth how her company works, the process for putting children up for castings, numbers of children put forward for castings daily, licensing etc.
She is aware of the comments being made on mumsnet and is very concerned that people are forming a negative view of bizzy kidz. Along with my email she has also had a phone call from a mum who was upset abouts the threads as her child is with Bizzy kidz.
I can honestly say, hand on heart, that Debi seems passionate about her company and very eager to put laid to rest all the scandal that seems to have arisen on mumsnet about Bizzy Kidz.
She has invited my to come to the offices to see how they run and the amounts of work that come in. She is more than happy for me to go down there and spend the day.
There is talk about the agency being investigated by the DTI. Debi said that there trading standards report was excellent.
She has two other businesses, one a adult modelling agency with Michael Greco as her partner.
Debi seems a genuine and open person so my mind is put at ease after speaking to her.
No doubt alot of people will think I work for Bizzy Kidz, but all you need to is look in the archives for my name and see what threads I have started, all very normal ones.
I just wanted to put other peoples minds at ease.
Please dont come with an onslaught now as I am just saying what honestly happened and my honest opinion.
