Meet The Team At Middleweek Newton
Lucy Middleweek
AGENT & DIRECTOR
Following a brief career as an actress, Lucy began working as an assistant in a number of well-established, UK-based, casting and management offices. In 2009, she had the opportunity to set up and build her own client list, within a newly-formed agency: Hoxton Street Management.
Tom Newton joined Lucy at Hoxton in 2011, by which time, and under Lucy's guidance, a small cohort of young clients had become highly sought-after. She continued at Hoxton until 2013 when she and Tom established Middleweek Newton Talent Management. Lucy believes that her own early experience as an actress has benefited her career as an agent, allowing her more fully to empathise with, and invest in, her clients' professional development.

Ileana moved to the UK and joined Middleweek Newton Talent Management as an assistant in 2015, working under the guidance of Lucy Middleweek.

Lucy Middleweek
FOUNDER / AGENT
After a dramatically brief career as an actress, Lucy made the natural leap to the other side of the audition room and found her true calling in talent management. She cut her teeth as an assistant in a number of respected casting and management offices, quickly proving she had a sharp eye for talent.
In 2009, Lucy founded Hoxton Street Management, building a small but standout roster of young actors who quickly began attracting attention across the industry. By 2013, she joined forces with Tom Newton to launch Middleweek Newton Talent Management.
Lucy credits her early experience as a performer for shaping her warm, hands-on approach as an agent - and for giving her a deep understanding of the emotional rollercoaster her clients ride, often before lunch!

Eleanor Wilson
ASSISTANT
Eleanor (Els) fell in love with theatre in 2010 at the age of 13 after watching a production of Romeo and Juliet by the Prague Shakespeare Company at the Open-Air Theatre in Vyšehrad. There was far too much leather; it rained halfway through, but she was hooked. Since then, she has been passionate all the many ways we tell stories across stage and screen.
After graduating with a BA in Theatre Production, focusing on stage management, from the Guildford School of Acting, Els worked as an assistant at several talent agencies before joining the MN team in 2025. Her stage management skills make her an expert wrangler of information, agents, and actors alike, and have given her a deep appreciation for pretty stationery.
Her favourite film is: The Princess Bride
Her favourite post-show food is: Pizza, ideally cheesy, like her jokes.
