CDA is a boutique agency founded in 1978 by Caroline Dawson.

We are members of the PMA

Belinda Wright who now heads up the agency, joined Caroline in 1981 as a secretary, shared with the legendary Peter Crouch, to pursue a career which would fulfil her passion for the theatre.
In 1984 vacating their Frith Street office to move to Sloane Square, Belinda became a partner. Based in the Kensington area ever since, CDA grew and thrived… Caroline passed away in 2007 but her name lives on… we still represent many of the clients who were with us in the early days. CDA prides itself on maintaining a small select list and providing individual attention and support.
