Why Every PA Needs a Lifestyle Concierge in Their Corner

‍Being a private or executive PA is one of the most demanding roles there is. You are the calm centre of someone else’s very full life, anticipating needs before they are spoken, holding a thousand details in your head and making the impossible look easy. You are brilliant at it. But you cannot be everywhere, know everyone and do everything at once, and nor should you have to be. A good lifestyle concierge is not a rival. We are the trusted partner in your corner, quietly making you look even better than you already do.

An extension of your team, not a replacement

Let us be clear about this from the outset. We are not here to take your job or step between you and your principal. We are here to support you. Think of us as a discreet extra pair of hands you can call on whenever the workload swells beyond what any one person can reasonably carry.

You stay firmly in control. We simply give you somewhere to turn when the diary is impossible and the requests keep coming.

We absorb the overflow

Every PA knows the feeling of three urgent things landing at once. A last-minute dinner reservation, a birthday gift that needs sourcing today and a travel itinerary that has just changed for the third time.

Instead of dropping one plate to save another, you hand the overflow to us. We take it on immediately, work it through and report back, so nothing is missed and you are not stretched to breaking point. When you are on holiday or off sick, we can hold the fort, so you can actually rest.

Our black book becomes yours

Over many years we have built a network of trusted contacts, our little black book, spanning restaurants, hotels, private members’ clubs, florists, tradespeople, event suppliers and specialists in almost every field.

When you work with us, that network is at your disposal. Need a table somewhere that is supposedly fully booked? A reliable contact in an unfamiliar city? A specialist supplier you have never dealt with before? We very likely know exactly the right person, and they know us.

We make you look brilliant

This is the part we love most. When your principal asks for something extraordinary and it appears seamlessly, the credit is yours. We work in the background, entirely discreet, so the magic is attributed to you.

Your reputation for making things happen grows, and you have a dependable partner ensuring you never have to say no. That is a powerful position to be in.

A relationship built on trust

We work with a dedicated approach, which means you deal with people who get to know you, your principal and your ways of working. There is no anonymous call centre, no re-explaining yourself each time. Just a consistent, reliable relationship that gets stronger the longer we work together.

The best PAs are not the ones who do everything alone. They are the ones who know exactly who to call. We would be honoured to be that call for you.

Let us take some of the weight off your shoulders.
