In the picture below, IIMB’s president Amer A. Vargas is shown with the butler (jadugars – magicians) graduates at Joali Muravandhoo in the Maldives following the training they finished last month. The students proudly show off their well-earned certificates after several weeks of hard work, high energy and positive karma!

In the British Virgin Islands, this resort in paradise is all set to deliver the best service to their guests following the training Mr. Vargas delivered to their butlers and some other key staff members: Rosewood Little Dix Bay. The photo below shows the course graduates in the presence of the Honourable Vincent Wheatley, BVI’s Minister of Natural Resources and Labour, who presented Mr. Vargas with a BVI Coat of Arms pin as a symbol of the brotherhood between the IIMB president and the country.

A bright future is ahead! Back in the Maldives, a new batch of jadugars, this time in Joali Being, a new resort with a complete different vision: transform the guests into the best self one can be. To all of you, thanks for the amazing imprint you made on this humble trainer. Wishing you all much success!

The butler family around the world keeps growing! In this issue, we welcome new butlers from France, as well as Tosoanis at Zadun, a new Ritz-Carlton Reserve in Los Cabos, Mexico that will open to the public in just a few weeks. We also welcome again the butlers and majordomos at the Waldorf Astoria Los Cabos Pedregal in Mexico (who were first trained three years ago). To all of you, keep treating your guests with the same willingness and positive attitude that you put into your training — we wish you all much success and a very bright future!

Chairman Steven Ferry spent the month of September on the French Riviera, where he trained the butlers of the soon to be opened Hotel Villeroy in Paris. Shown above are the happy graduates, ready to start wow’ing their guests!
