The Team
Emma Housley
Emma graduated from Arts Ed, and worked across multiple areas of the industry, most notably in the West End and on UK Tours. She made her West End debut in Andrew Lloyd Webber’s The Wizard of Oz at the London Palladium with a selection of other credits including Carousel, American Idiot and Thoroughly Modern Millie.
Whilst performing, Emma worked as a Casting Assistant for Debbie O’Brien and as an Assistant Director on leading UK drama schools’ graduating year productions.
After over 10 years of performing, Emma joined the agent world, and after spending time working at multiple leading talent agencies (and a stint of legal study!) Emma began working alongside Oliver… the rest, as they say, is history!
Emma is passionate about talent and looking after performers as they navigate their own careers, using her comprehensive industry perspective and first-hand experience of being an auditioning and working performer to support and guide.
Oliver Williams
Oliver trained at Bird College and the Royal Academy of Music. After 7 years in London, he joined the team at Regan Management as an Agent Assistant, and within a year he started to build his own list, growing the company's client book and eventually leading the Musical Theatre division of the company.
Over the past few years, Oliver has also worked with a select book of Drag performers, including stars of RuPaul’s Drag Race and leading UK drag talent, working on live performance, social media collaborations, theatre, and events worldwide.
With over 7 years as an agent and with a wealth of experience and clients working at the highest standard across the industry, together with Emma, he launched Housley Williams.
Oliver is committed to providing personal representation to his clients, and has a keen focus on diversity and inclusion, working hard to represent the LGBTQ+ community and giving performers the comfort and support to explore their own journeys throughout the industry.
