Butlers
If you are looking for a personalised service
that exceeds all expectations, an ambassador for
a private residence or hotel, someone who is
discreet, with flawless organisation and
first-rate presentation, then you may be
thinking of employing a Butler.
Today, the role of the Butler is a more flexible
one than the traditionally defined austere
manservant of old . Modern day Butlers are
considered to be the most important and
versatile domestic employee, often assuming a
combination of roles to suit the needs of the
individual employer. A Butler can act as a
valet, chauffeur, head waiter or personal
assistant with ease and dignity and maintain an
excellence of service and that puts them in a
league of their own.
Depending on the size of the household, a Butler
may be the most senior of staff and will have
the skills to manage, supervise, recruit and
dismiss all domestic staff, keep household
accounts and stock control and have excellent
communication and administration skills to
liaise with contactors, suppliers and services
and produce inventories and valuations.
A Personal Butler will be take responsibility of
caring for the Client’s wardrobe, purchasing
clothes, packing and unpacking of suitcases,
possess an excellent formal dining etiquette and
a knowledge of wine and cigars and ensure the
wine cellar and bar are fully stocked. A country
estate will often expect the Butler to have some
knowledge and experience of organising shooting
parties and taking care of guns and supervising
household staff associated with these events.
The role of the Butler is an important and
diverse one, and will depend on the requirements
of the household. Adam’s Services personally
ensure that only the finest Butlers with the
right experience are presented to our Clients
for selection.
A Butler will travel with their employers and
often need to run multiple homes and may be
required to speak a second language. A Butler
should maintain total loyalty to their employer
and provide an excellence of service and
discretion that befits their role. Adam’s
Services will only source Butlers who have
excellent standards and are a credit to their
profession. We work closely with our Clients to
ensure all their requirements are met. Our
recruitment process follows strict protocols and
vetting procedures and utilise our expertise to
