Providing expert guidance for events and households. Specializing in staffing solutions, event management, and staff placement.

Household Operations & Service Standards

We can review household routines, front-of-house service, guest arrivals, formal dining, communication and coordination between existing team members. Recommendations are practical, discreet and designed to work within the household’s established preferences.

Private Event Service Consultancy

We advise on the hospitality and service requirements for private dinners, estate gatherings, sporting occasions and exclusive events. This can include service planning, guest flow, front-of-house standards and coordination with the existing household, catering or event team.

Bespoke Consultancy & Staff Training

Simon or Peter can provide an on-site or remote review, develop practical service procedures and deliver focused training for existing household or hospitality teams. Every consultancy engagement is tailored to the property, people and standards involved.

Online Butler Training: The Modern Butler Standard

Simon is also the creator of The Modern Butler Standard, an online training programme for hospitality professionals and aspiring butlers who want to understand how private households genuinely operate.

The self-paced course covers private-service standards, professional behaviour, household hospitality, anticipation, modern butler tools and preparing for private household roles—all based on Simon’s 30 years of practical experience.
