What is a Butler?
Obviously, the butler role is incredibly varied and exact requirements depend on the needs of each private household. Of course, responsibilities are varied and far-reaching, but can include silver service; valet; care of silver and fine china; wardrobe management; travel packing; meeting and greeting of residents and guests; training and management of other staff; driving and in some cases, travelling with the principal and their family.
A butler may be male or female, and will possess excellent communication skills and a positive attitude to a demanding workload. Of course, they have a good understanding of what is required of them and will share the high standards of the household for appearances and service. Moreover, it won’t only be the property that is immaculately presented: butlers for private households take their own professional appearance seriously at all times.

I have used this agency since I had my first baby and they supplied me with an outstanding maternity nurse. We still use them for nannies some 7 years later but also hire housekeepers from them on an ‘as needed’ basis. You can’t go wrong with Bespoke Bureau!

What does a Butler do?
In the popular imagination, the word “butler” tends to bring to mind a respectable middle-aged man in a tailcoat holding a silver platter. Today, this enduring association might lead us to wonder what relevance a butler has in modern society. Also, some might perhaps even suspect that the age of the butler is long dead. But according to the British Butler Association, the number of them employed around the world is increasing all the time. The question is, what exactly does a modern-day butler do?
Butler vs House Manager
On paper, there is a great deal of overlap between the role of butler and house manager; the exact definition of roles will usually come at the discretion of the employer.
Traditionally, a butler would have more in common with a valet, a man-servant attending to the personal needs of the head of the household. Today, they largely fulfil the same role as a house manager, organising day-to-day maintenance and carrying out numerous hands-on tasks.
In some cases, the two positions might be distinguished by their level of formality. For many households around the world, the title of butler still implies a certain standard of dress and etiquette, while a house manager may be allowed to assume a more informal role.
Everyday Tasks
According to the British Butler Association, there are certain tasks that go hand-in-hand with being a butler. Needless to say, one of the most important responsibilities is hosting. A butler should answer calls to the household phone, greet guests at the door, assist in the planning of events and dinner parties, oversee table settings, and serve drinks and food. They will also (perhaps most importantly) manage the wine cellar.
Additionally, a butler may have responsibility over other staff. This could extend to training new staff members, organising the payroll and the staff schedule, and even hiring and firing.
Beyond that, a butler’s duties will be decided at their employer’s discretion. A more traditional role might restrict them to the duties above, along with personal valet services for the head of the household. Chauffeuring could be involved, as could housekeeping, cleaning and maintenance. Budgeting, administrative and security issues may be placed in their hands, along with the care of artworks, silverware and antiques.
Perhaps the most important thing to note about modern-day butlers is that everything from their duties to their dress code can be tailored, depending upon the specific needs of your household and family. Which, in many ways, makes them the ideal member of staff to invite into your home.
Hire a Butler for an easier life
A butler is like the staple person who holds the family together. His many duties and responsibilities can take the weight off a busy family particularly when that family has many tasks at hand and perhaps when both adults work long hours. A butler can also be for who can afford it and who would like to spend that extra time on leisure and hobbies, entrusting homely affairs to an individual they feel that they can count on.
Some homes require only part-time help to ease the burden of the owners’ busy schedules, but most families quickly realise the value of having that help constantly. Like all positions, the family’s service needs and property size will dictate the duties and level of formality for the butler.
The butler is generally expected to handle all the unpredictable needs of the household, while housekeepers manage the predictable ones such as cleaning rooms. He pays the household bills, organises the stock for the kitchen and home, books medical appointments and helps arrange social family events. He can even be expected to stay abreast of the latest software and security systems.
Rich homes that can be quite complex, with wine cellars, smart home technologies and security screens need constant maintenance. He checks that the kitchens and laundries are all being run well. He should have rather good knowledge on wines and spirits but also how to pack suitcases, fill wardrobes and manages clothing inventories.
Instead of polishing silver or greeting guests as commonly known to be the general tasks, the butler may oversee installation of a new heating system. Thus, the butler needs strong communication, organisational and management skills, and an ability to multi-task.
