Every role your household requires
From the office to the estate, the kitchen to the gym — EED sources and places exceptional household professionals at every level.

A dedicated PA managing the personal and professional affairs of a high profile principal. Travel, diary, communications, lifestyle management and household coordination — handled discreetly and efficiently.
VIP PA placements →Estate Manager
Overseeing the day-to-day running of one or multiple properties. Staff management, maintenance, budgets, events and vendor relationships — all managed to the highest standards.

"We have been in touch with EED for almost 10 years now, and they are always our first port of call for staff. EED works for us because of their professional nature. They are discreet, interactions are confidential, and we can have sensible conversations about which details to share and which to discuss with candidates in person. I do not hesitate to recommend them as an agency you can trust to actually do what they say they will do."
