Questions

Asked before, answered plainly.

If yours is not here, ask it directly. We answer the same way we work.

01What does a private concierge actually do?+

It is simpler than the word suggests. You tell us what needs to happen. We find the right person, agree the terms, manage them, and confirm it is done. The value is not the task. It is that we already know who to call, so nothing takes three weeks and four bad quotes.

02Do you replace my PA, EA or chief of staff?+

No, and we would not want to. They know the family. We know the suppliers. Most of our work arrives through an assistant who wants a network to call rather than another set of cold enquiries to make. They stay in control of the relationship throughout.

03How do you charge?+

Either a retainer for ongoing work or a fee per project, agreed before anything starts. Where a supplier pays us a commission we tell you and it is deducted from what you pay. You never pay for the same thing twice, and you always see the supplier's own price.

04How quickly do you respond?+

Within the hour in working hours, and at any hour when something is live. You reach a person who can act, not a ticket queue. If we cannot solve it immediately we tell you when we will.

05Is there a membership or a minimum?+

No membership, no joining fee, no waiting list. Some clients use us continuously across several houses. Others call twice a year for the things that matter. Both are fine.

06Where do you operate?+

Based in the south of France and working globally. Deepest in Europe, long established across Africa, and reaching into the Americas and the Pacific through partners we have met in person. If we do not have real coverage in a place, we say so rather than improvise.

07How do you choose your suppliers?+

Independent, owner led, and doing the work themselves. We meet them, we test them with a real request, and we keep the ones who tell us honestly when the answer is no. A supplier who cannot say no is a supplier who will fail you at the worst moment.

08What do you not do?+

We do not advise on wealth, tax or legal structure, and we do not hold client money. We introduce you to people who do that properly and we stay out of it. We also turn down anything we cannot deliver to the standard we would want ourselves.

09How do you handle confidentiality?+

Mutual agreement before anything is discussed. We never name a client, to anyone, including other clients. Every supplier we bring is bound by the same terms, and information reaches them only when a request requires it.

10Who can see my Preference Portal?+

You, anyone you nominate, and the two or three people here who handle your work. Nothing is shared with a supplier beyond what a specific request needs. Ask, and the whole record is deleted within thirty days with written confirmation.
