Your World. Your rules.

What Needs Doing, Done Right

You’ve built a life that’s uniquely yours - my job is to ensure it stays that way. Managing employee hours and negotiating with contractors is not an effective use of your time or expertise; the space where your world intersects with others: vendors, contractors, service providers - is where I do my business, quietly ensuring that every touchpoint meets the standards you expect. No excuses, no-nonsense, no drama.

​

My approach is extremely flexible and highly adaptable, ranging from sleeves-rolled-up, broom-in-hand involvement to strategic oversight. Every challenge is unique. Your needs will be radically different from anyone else's, so you need someone who can foresee problems before they arise and plan accordingly, or calmly assess the challenge and adapt on the fly.                Either way, your interests come first.

The Power of Trust

Ernest Hemingway said that the only way to know if you can trust someone is to trust them. Not my idea of a good approach. Better to engage the services of someone with a proven track record who can act on your behalf and represent your interests with practicality and discretion. Someone who maintains a high ethical standard and nurtures a collaborative environment among permanent staff and contractors alike.​

​

As an Independent Estate Manager, here’s what a typical role might include:

​

  • Staff Oversight: Hiring, training, and managing household staff, from chefs to security. Ensuring all team members meet the service standards you expect.

​

  • Property Maintenance: Coordinating maintenance of grounds, buildings, collections, vehicles, and more. Overseeing contractors, vendors, and ongoing projects to ensure everything runs efficiently.

​​

  • Event Management: Organizing everything from intimate dinners to large-scale gatherings. Managing caterers, event planners, temporary staff, and entertainment with an eye for detail and discretion.

​​

  • Travel & Multi-Property Coordination: Preparing properties ahead of your arrival, ensuring seamless transitions from one residence to another.

​​

  • Administrative Oversight: Budgeting, record-keeping, and liaising with insurers, solicitors, architects, and a wide variety of other advisors, including Health and Safety auditors.

A Collaborative, Proactive Approach

 

Effective estate management requires both leadership and a level of humility. It means being omnipresent without grabbing the spotlight. 

My role is to ensure that every part of your estate works exactly as it should without constant input from you or fear it will go pear-shaped.

 

Whether you need someone to take on a specific project, a long-term position, or a one-off assignment, I’m here to help you think critically, act effectively, and then get on with doing whatever it is you do best.

Get in touch at your convenience to discuss building a management approach that’s right for you. Whatever your needs, a solution is only a chat and a cup of coffee away. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.
