Butlers and Concierge
Luxury Lifestyle Services
A butler is a live in servant traditionally in charge of house keeping duties in wealthy homes and is usually considered the most senior member of house keeping staff, although the duties administered to a butler will generally differ depending on who is employing the butler.
In works of fiction it is common for butler to appear as a character and is often used for comic relief, they are often portrayed as austere and supercilious with a comical level of distain for their masters. In reality a butler would be expected to be discreet when performing his or hers duties, and making condescending remarks would most likely see their career cut short.

Having a butler is often seen as extremely uncommon as most people think the cost of having a butler is not affordable. However when you take into account the loss of your time performing tasks that others could do a cheaper rate than your lost time it starts to look like a cost effective service.
A butler will usually be able to recommend a service based on past experiences so if your looking for the best cosmetic surgery in London or a bespoke tailor for a new suit you can be sure what you are getting.
