Moving to London — or opening a new London residence — and need to build a household team from scratch? EED specialises in placing private staff for VIP and UHNW families arriving in London, with the discretion and speed the market demands.

London’s private staffing market is one of the most sophisticated — and most competitive — in the world. Families relocating from the Gulf, Europe or internationally who need a complete household team quickly will find that working with a specialist agency is not just convenient, but often the only realistic way to build a high-quality team in a reasonable timeframe.

Which Staff Does a New London Residence Need?

How Quickly Can EED Place Staff?

For families with urgent timelines, EED can typically present an initial shortlist within one to two weeks of a thorough brief. For senior roles — house manager, estate manager or chief of staff — we recommend allowing three to six weeks for the process to be done properly, including references and a trial period. Childcare placements are typically possible within two to four weeks.

If your timeline is extremely compressed, we will be honest about what is achievable without cutting corners on vetting — and we can advise on temporary or bridging arrangements while permanent placements are secured.
