How they will help
Your Butler will fluently manage and ease your day-to-day activities and tasks. Fully-qualified, extensively-trained and thoroughly vetted, our butlers not only have impeccable social etiquette, but also the ability to anticipate your needs at all times.
Many butlers come to us with prior business and management training and areas as diverse as: table service, household cleaning, estate management, concierge services and hotel management, luxury lifestyle consulting and personal stylist training. Butlers are often career professionals who maintain membership in a variety of guilds and professional organisations, such as the International Guild of Professional Butlers. Some are graduates of ‘butling’ and house management schools in Europe.
Questions? You’re covered.
Not at all! We have placed several female butlers successfully over the past few years.
Every qualified butler that we have on our portfolio has received training in etiquette, protocol, concierge skills, silver service and staff management. Furthermore, most of them speak several languages and are knowledgeable about current affairs.
Butlers do not work regular hours and sometimes principals reward them for this flexibility by improving their annual leave. By law, in the UK the minimum amount of holiday time that full-time employees are entitled to is 28 paid days a year including Bank Holidays.
This depends upon the household, but in our experience the majority of households will expect the butler to wear a suit and that an allowance is agreed upon for that purpose.
Our experienced recruitment team have an eye for talent. Employees recognize this and sign up with our agency because they know that their skills will be matched with households that require them.
