The faces behind Top Model of the World UK
Andi Simpkins
Director
​
With over 40 years of experience in the modelling and pageant industry, I am incredibly proud to step into the role of National Director for Top Model of the World UK! This opportunity marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter. One that brings a fresh energy and renewed passion for pageant modelling to the pageant scene here in the United Kingdom.
I’ve always believed in the power of opportunity. I can’t wait to help aspiring models and titleholders step into their full potential and truly stand out. It’s an absolute honour to lead this prestigious international brand in the UK, and I’m dedicated to providing a positive, empowering, and unforgettable experience for every contestant who walks through our doors.

Sheri Miller
Production Manager
​
With over 12 years of experience in the pageant world, I’m proud to be a true pageant veteran—someone who has lived, breathed, and loved every part of the journey. I’ve had the honour of holding two national titles and three charity titles, and along the way, I’ve raised over £12,000 for various charities, using my platform to support causes that matter.
But my love for pageantry goes far beyond the spotlight. I’m a backstage superstar, having supported the smooth running of five pageants—from zipping up dresses to calming nerves, I’ve been the helping hand that contestants and directors alike can count on. My passion for pageantry is about more than crowns; it’s about building confidence, creating community, and making sure every woman has the best possible experience. I’m now thrilled to be stepping into the international pageant scene, continuing to grow, give back, and uplift others.
A proud Earring Envy lover ;) , I bring sparkle, energy, and a touch of glam wherever I go. Whether I'm on stage or behind the curtain, I’m here to make the magic happen—and if I can make a director’s life a little bit easier in the process, then I know I’ve done my job.
