Shire & Wold is a specialist recruitment agency with deep roots across both London and the British countryside. We support ultra-high-net-worth individuals, private estates, family offices, and luxury brands with tailored recruitment solutions designed for long-term success.
Our dual expertise across city and rural placements sets us apart. From central London residences to large-scale country estates in the Cotswolds and Home Counties, we understand the different demands of each environment and recruit accordingly.
While many agencies focus solely on London, we bring equal knowledge and presence across both urban and rural placements. A London principal with a country estate requires staff who can work across both settings. We understand that, and we recruit for it.
We place across the full spectrum of private household and luxury roles in the UK.
Housekeepers, nannies, estate managers and private chefs placed across London, the Cotswolds and beyond.
Senior support staff and executive placements for family offices and private principals across the UK.
Front and back of house staffing for luxury hotels, private members clubs, and fine dining venues across the UK.
Business support, operations, and senior leadership recruitment for private offices and premium brands throughout the UK.
Crew and chalet staff for UK-based and internationally travelling clients, including seasonal placements and permanent appointments.
We have built our reputation quietly, through referrals and long-term relationships rather than volume. Our clients trust us with sensitive, high-stakes appointments because we take the time to understand their household, their standards, and the kind of person who will genuinely fit.
We do not send volume. We find the right person.
