About the Business
Melissa was brought up in Sussex in a house surrounded by a beautiful walled garden where she first gained her love of flowers. After school and a brief interlude at the Drama Centre she worked as a stylist and casting director before starting her business, Take 2 Model Management, in 1982 at the age of 26 with two friends Gabriella Palmano and Mairead Lewin. The agency quickly gained success as one of the new boutique agencies so fashionable in the 80's and went on to represent some of the greatest models of the next three decades. Including Jade Jagger, Saffron Aldridge, Sophie Dahl, Jacquetta Wheeler, Natalia Vodianova, Eugenia Volodina and Christina Hendricks. They opened "the coolest men's division in the world" in the 90's. In 2009 after 27 years of trading Melissa decided that she wanted a complete change of direction and the idea of JamJar Flowers was conceived.
