A London-based entrepreneur and racing driver has advertised for multiple staff members to support his demanding lifestyle, offering salaries of around £70,000 annually. The job postings, placed in an upscale magazine, seek candidates to serve as chauffeurs, housekeepers, and personal assistants capable of managing various domestic and travel-related duties.
Described as a youthful, well-mannered, and charming individual, the businessman leads an international life centered around car racing and business commitments. While his home base is in Mayfair, he spends only about 90 days per year there, traveling extensively throughout the remainder of the year. Staff hired will be required to accompany him overseas and provide support both at home and during racing events.
The key responsibilities outlined include driving multiple luxury vehicles, including a Bentley, maintaining an immaculate car collection, and handling wardrobe care for a collection of designer clothes. Employees must be prepared to perform housekeeping duties, such as washing, ironing, packing and unpacking for travel, and preparing simple meals and snacks. Being discreet and flexible is emphasized due to the high-profile nature of the employer’s activities.
Applicants are expected to have prior experience in driving abroad and housekeeping, with a clear understanding of how to care for designer wardrobes. The role also demands the ability to act as a valet and to provide attentive service at social events and race tracks. Candidates should possess polished manners, including tasks like opening doors and attending trackside functions alongside the driver.
The adverts suggest that more than one staff member will be employed to handle the varied demands, with the possibility of working closely with colleagues to ensure seamless service. Some descriptions mention the ideal candidate as someone physically fit and alert, with prior experience possibly in hotel housekeeping or similar high-profile domestic roles.
The employer’s preference for highly discreet personnel reflects the dynamic and public nature of his racing and business career. While the position offers generous remuneration and the opportunity to travel widely, candidates are warned that the role will be full-on and fast-paced, requiring dedication and adaptability to an unpredictable schedule.
