About Kingley
Nearly 20 years in, things have changed quite a bit.
Kingley is a British-owned and run agency, that was started well in a totally different era. There was no Instagram, no WhatsApp and certainly no algorithm deciding who was hot this week. There was a Nokia in my pocket, a contact book full of numbers and a lot of international phone calls.
I worked with escorts and models travelling through London, major American adult film stars touring the UK and Asia, and organised international tours as far afield as Australia (a lot of coffee and naps kinda era) . Back then, if someone wanted to tour, you picked up the phone, made a few calls and somehow managed to get everyone where they were supposed to be. It was considerably more old school — and probably involved a lot more roaming charges.
Things have changed.
The rise of Instagram has completely transformed the industry. Escorts can now build huge personal brands, communicate directly with clients and reach an international audience without needing an agency in the traditional sense.
So Kingley had to change too.
The original agency model doesn’t really work in quite the same way any more. Today, clients often want something more personal and bespoke — whether that’s finding a particular type of escort, arranging international travel, making a more unusual request or simply having someone experienced at the other end who knows how to get things sorted.
That’s where Kingley has evolved.
I’ve always preferred relationships over transactions. Some clients I’ve known for years have become genuine acquaintances and friends. I’ve met up with clients for drinks and cigars, caught up with them when they’re back in London, and reminisced about old tours, old faces and some of the more interesting nights along the way.
Kingley remains deliberately personal. There is no receptionists on different shifts — when you deal with Kingley, you’re dealing directly with me (Kelly). That means I can take the time to understand what you’re actually looking for and, where possible, use the experience and relationships I’ve built over the years to make it happen.
After nearly 20 years, I’ve been asked for just about everything. Some requests are straightforward, some are more unusual, and occasionally I get a message that makes me stop and think, “Okay… that’s a new one.” or ‘Seriously?!!’
That’s part of what I enjoy about it.
The industry may look very different now, but the reason many clients still come back is actually quite simple. They know me, they know how I work, and they know they can ask.
And after nearly 20 years, I’ve got a pretty good idea of what can and can’t be done.
