Expertise
Areas of Experience
Formal Service & Table
Delivering silver service, butler service, and formal hosting to the highest international standards.
Our butlers are trained in the full range of formal service traditions, including silver and butler service, wine and champagne service, table dressing, and the etiquette of receiving and looking after distinguished guests. They are equally comfortable serving an intimate family dinner and orchestrating service for state-level entertaining, with the calm presence and instinctive timing that defines true butler craft.
Wardrobe, Valeting & Personal Care
Caring for the principal's wardrobe, personal effects, and daily presentation with absolute discretion.
An accomplished butler takes complete ownership of the principal's wardrobe, pressing and packing garments, rotating seasonal items, liaising with tailors and dry cleaners, and ensuring every piece is presented to the highest standard. They manage shoes, jewellery, watches, and personal accessories, and prepare travel wardrobes with meticulous attention to itinerary, climate, and occasion.
Cellar & Fine Goods Management
Curating and maintaining wine cellars, cigar humidors, fine spirits, and other private collections.
Our butlers bring a sommelier's eye to cellar management, maintaining accurate inventories, managing temperature and storage conditions, recommending acquisitions, and pairing wines for service. They also oversee humidors, decanters, fine glassware, silver, and other valuable household collections, ensuring every item is in immaculate condition and properly accounted for.
Guest Reception & Hosting
Receiving guests with the warmth, formality, and discretion expected at the highest levels of private hospitality.
The butler is the first face many guests see and the standard-bearer of the household. Our candidates are skilled in greeting and announcing guests, managing arrivals and departures, anticipating preferences from previous visits, and creating an atmosphere of effortless hospitality. They are equally adept at managing royalty, heads of state, and close family, welcoming each with the appropriate degree of formality and warmth.
Travel & Multi-Residence Service
Travelling with the principal across residences, yachts, and aviation while maintaining seamless personal service in any environment.
Many of our placements involve butlers who travel internationally with the principal, whether by private aviation, superyacht, or to additional residences abroad. Our candidates are experienced in adapting service to any environment, coordinating with local household teams, managing luggage and logistics, and ensuring the principal's daily routine remains uninterrupted regardless of location.
Discretion & Household Standards
Upholding absolute confidentiality and the impeccable standards expected within the world's most private homes.
Discretion is the foundation of every butler placement we make. Our candidates have served royal families, heads of state, and the most private of UHNW principals. They understand that what is seen and heard within the household must remain there. They lead by example on standards of dress, conduct, and service, and are often a trusted senior figure within the wider household team.
