MARK WARD

AGENT

Mark Ward has 26 years experience of working in theatre. Having trained at Bird College he enjoyed a career in musical theatre working on such shows as Cats and the first ever UK tour of Grease.

He then moved into an assistant agent position for Re.Animator Agency where he was quickly made the sole agent and helped establish it as one of the UK’s leading dance agencies over the next five years. At this point he was then invited to join BBA to create his own list and worked with a select group of sought after performers mainly working in musical theatre.

Whilst at BBA he met and worked with Phil Belfield and they left to set up Belfield and Ward in 2009.

It’s Mark’s belief that an agent is only as good as their clients and he is thrilled to work with a list of some of the finest talent in the UK.
