Project support for moves, renovations and one-off briefs
For the things that do not fit a category. Project work, busy seasons or specialist requests, shaped around what you actually need and handled by a calm pair of hands.
Project-based, or part of a retainer
Support can be retainer or project-based, scaled to your needs and reviewed when those needs change. A single project is often how clients first work with us, and many go on to hand over more.
With your direction, we manage the moving parts in the background: replying to suppliers, confirming bookings, paying invoices, holding contractors to their commitments, and absorbing the small interruptions that would otherwise land on your desk.
Every engagement is covered by a confidentiality agreement, and we act within the authority you set.
Four kinds of project
Some projects arrive planned. Others arrive on a Tuesday afternoon. Either way, one person holds the moving parts until it is done.
Moves and renovations
Project management for home renovations and relocations: contractors coordinated and held to their commitments, schedules kept, deliveries organised and the household kept running around the work.
- Home renovations
- Relocations and house moves
- Contractors, suppliers and service schedules
Research
The careful groundwork behind a decision, done properly and presented clearly, so the choice is yours and the legwork is not.
- School applications
- Service procurement
- Venues and suppliers for private events
Events and occasions
An intimate dinner, a family celebration, a private gathering or a larger professionally managed event. Support can include venue research, supplier coordination, guest list management, invitations, travel and accommodation arrangements, and overseeing logistics in the lead-up to the event itself.
Urgent problems
Crisis problem-solving for the moments that cannot wait.
- Urgent travel
- Lost documents
- Emergencies that need someone capable on the case today
Projects rarely arrive alone
A move brings bills to transfer and suppliers to manage. A renovation brings contractors to coordinate. Project support draws on the rest of our private PA services in London whenever it needs to: lifestyle and household administration for household coordination and events, liaison and communication as one point of contact for contractors and suppliers, and travel and logistics, including urgent travel.
How to Start

Discovery call
A 30-minute call to understand what you need. Confidential and no obligation.
Onboarding and handover
We learn your preferences and routines, gain access to any necessary systems and quietly get acquainted with supporting you as effectively as possible.
The project, seen through
Project-based for a single brief, or folded into a wider retainer.
