Butlers providing temporary services through the Institute are professionals and charge professional rates. Day rates are in the hundreds of US dollars per day, plus expenses.

Where there is a butler located locally, it may be possible to organize shorter assignments (1 day minimum).

Testimonials:

“Mr. Ferry was absolutely fabulous. His help and professionalism were outstanding. What a great help he was to everyone. Please thank him again for me.” PM

“While I reside in New York, a great friend of mine moved recently to London and (I suspect inspired by Dowton Abbey) had mentioned on several occasions that she would like to have a butler for her birthday. Unfortunately, I was not able to oblige her request with a full-time butler but came up with the idea that I might be able to find a butler to deliver her breakfast on her first birthday in her new home. This turned out to be more difficult to coordinate then I had imagined and, despite having contacted numerous staffing services in the London area, I was unable to find someone who could assist me with this unique request.

Thankfully, I was introduced by the Institute to Mr. Prem Rao, who immediately made himself available to assist with this early morning, weekend request. Furthermore, he made the request his own, helping to develop a wonderful menu and suggesting additional gifts to make the event special. I found him to be extremely detailed oriented with regard to the manner and content of delivery. The breakfast was a great success, largely due to the contribution of Mr. Rao.

As I was not able to attend the event personally, I very much appreciated the close communication and updates provided by Mr. Rao, as well as the photos he took for me of the occasion.

As a professional investment manager, I have many ultra-high-net-worth corporate and government clients around the world. I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending the services of Mr. Rao to them. I wish him much success in the future.” CSM
