This couple only recently registered with us and have excellent experience as Estate Managers on the French Riviera. Although they have excellent management experience of large teams, they are also used to being hands-on in all duties. They do come with a certain gravitas and perhaps a corporate approach but are seeking a position with more responsibility to a smaller family dynamic than the Royal family of Qatar, who were their last employers. They are excellent communicators and well-versed in cooking and housekeeping as well as exterior maintenance and professional chauffeuring.
Both are polite, energetic, well-educated, and outgoing and speak fluent French with the gentleman’s English being stronger than the ladies. This couple would suit an estate management couple position or a guardianship position of a luxury private home.
