I had an excellent experience working with this recruitment agency, particularly with Annalisa. She demonstrated a deep understanding of the private household and UHNW environment, taking the time to match me with opportunities that genuinely aligned with my experience and expectations. Her communication was clear, timely, and highly professional throughout. Annalisa’s attention to detail and discretion really stood out, which is essential in private PA roles. I would highly recommend both her and the agency.

I recently completed my registration with the agency and had such a great experience from start to finish. Everything was really well run, smooth and welcoming, which made the whole process feel easy and stress-free. Annalisa was fantastic — so friendly, approachable and incredibly professional. She made me feel comfortable straight away and really took the time to get to know me, my experience and what I’m looking for in my next role. It felt very personal rather than just another interview, which I really appreciated. Her communication was clear and supportive throughout, and I came away feeling confident, motivated and genuinely excited about the opportunities ahead. Overall, such a positive experience — I’m really looking forward to working with them and staying in touch.

I've recently had the pleasure of speaking with Martyn and came away very impressed with the experience. From the start, he was friendly, professional, genuinely helpful, and went above and beyond. It was refreshing to interact with someone who took the time to listen carefully and understand my situation, offering thoughtful advice and clear direction. His knowledge of the industry really showed, and he explained things in a way that made the next steps feel straightforward and achievable. What stood out most was how approachable and supportive he was throughout the process. I felt that he was genuinely helping me personally and was focused on my needs. It’s clear that Martyn cares about helping people and takes pride in doing his job well. Thank you, Martyn, for your time, clarity, insight, and encouragement.
