Goodbye Gilla Roos?

We hear from a very good sources that Gilla Roos has shut its doors due to "restructuring". In a letter to the staff owner, Gary Roos, blamed the economic downturn.

This place has been around since 1974! Many of you were not even a twinkling in your parents loins in 1974.

In the past few years we've seen the closing of McDonald Richards (remember them) and now we hear R&L is merging with Silver.

Gilla was a the old faithful of the commercial print agents and to see it go is quite sad.


FYI: Here is some info about Gilla Roos:

"Gilla Roos was a model and actress who was well known for teaching actors to model for "Commercial Print" In these ads the models would portray "Real People" in different Lifestyles such as at home, in the office, or on vacation etc. She was a pioneer in developing acting for commercial print"
