Global Lifestyle Management for Millionaires, Billionaires and Private Families
International agency Very Important Personnel helps British, European and globally mobile millionaires, billionaires, entrepreneurs, investors, private families and asset owners arrange confidential lifestyle management throughout Europe and worldwide.
We support families and business owners through Catamaran Family Office, which forms part of the same ecosystem as Very Important Personnel. This model brings personal affairs, international residences, luxury assets, private staff and cross-border requirements together within one discreet framework comparable to the coordinated service expected by clients of Citi Private Bank, Lombard Odier and Julius Baer.
Our advisers become trusted representatives in matters involving lifestyle, art collections, education, global mobility, private security, yachts, business aviation and international infrastructure. Every mandate is delivered with precision, discretion and the personalised attention expected within Forbes- and The Economist-profile wealth circles.
Who Is Global Lifestyle Management For?
This service is designed for British and European millionaires and billionaires, international private families, entrepreneurs, senior executives, property owners, family offices, personal assistants and trusted client representatives wishing to delegate complex organisational and specialist matters.
We assist clients whose lifestyles encompass London residences, European estates, Alpine chalets, Mediterranean villas and international properties, as well as children studying abroad, fine-art collections, superyachts, private jets and exceptional vehicle collections.
International Lifestyle Management Services
Auction and Collectibles Advisory
Through Catamaran Family Office, we coordinate independent advice relating to fine art, jewellery, watches, collectible assets, taxation, succession planning and collection governance. Support may involve leading international auction markets represented by Christie’s, Sotheby’s, Phillips and Bonhams.
This service is intended for collectors acquiring, selling, inheriting or structuring valuable assets who require informed decisions that reflect financial, legal, cultural and multigenerational family considerations.
Fine Art Advisory
We coordinate transactions involving museum-quality art, including private acquisitions, sales, storage, insurance, international transportation and investment structuring.
Independent specialists in valuation, provenance, conservation, logistics, insurance and transaction documentation may be engaged. Clients receive personalised assistance for blue-chip art and collectible assets, with market intelligence informed by platforms and institutions such as Art Basel, Frieze, TEFAF and Artnet.
Mobile Asset Management: Superyachts and Private Jets
For superyacht and business-aviation owners, we arrange professional management of high-value mobile assets. Through the Catamaran Family Office ecosystem, support may include operational oversight, technical audits, crew recruitment, service-quality control, regulatory coordination and cost optimisation.
We coordinate these processes so owners can enjoy their yacht or private aircraft without managing daily operational matters. Support may involve assets from recognised market leaders such as Feadship, Lürssen, Gulfstream, Bombardier, Dassault Aviation and Airbus Corporate Jets.
Collector and Luxury Automotive Advisory
We arrange specialist assistance with creating and managing significant automotive collections, from sourcing investment-grade classics to acquiring contemporary hypercars, luxury executive vehicles and limited-production models.
Rare and iconic cars may include the Ferrari 250 GT, Ferrari F40, Ferrari Enzo, Ferrari Daytona, Lamborghini Miura, Lamborghini Countach, Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Gullwing, Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren, Porsche 911 Carrera RS 2.7, Porsche 959, Porsche Carrera GT, Aston Martin DB5, Aston Martin One-77, Bentley R-Type Continental, Rolls-Royce Phantom, Bugatti EB110, Bugatti Veyron, McLaren F1, McLaren P1, Ford GT40, Shelby Cobra and Maserati MC12.
Acquiring a comparable vehicle in Europe, the United Kingdom or another international jurisdiction—whether for a private residence, an investment-grade collection or a significant gift—can present complex challenges. Availability, specifications, registration, taxation, import rules, provenance records and local compliance standards frequently require careful specialist coordination.
Support may include discreet off-market sourcing, provenance and technical-condition checks, independent valuation, seller negotiations, transaction management, cross-border logistics, specialist insurance, secure storage, maintenance and ongoing fleet oversight.
International Education Advisory
We help families evaluate leading schools and universities in the United Kingdom, Switzerland, France, Italy, Spain, the United States and worldwide. Support can include analysing educational objectives, selecting a country, institution, curriculum and language of instruction, and developing a long-term academic pathway.
The service is especially relevant to internationally mobile families considering institutions such as Eton College, Harrow School, Institut Le Rosey and leading universities, or seeking continuity for children moving between several countries.
Residency Strategy and Global Mobility
Through Catamaran Family Office, clients can access personalised coordination relating to residence rights and international mobility in suitable jurisdictions worldwide.
We work with appropriately qualified legal and tax advisers to support integration into a new jurisdiction and coordinate mobility requirements for the client, family or business, with careful consideration of compliance and long-term family objectives.
Cross-Border Financial Coordination
We coordinate specialist support for legitimate international payments and settlements connected with personal, family, property, luxury-asset and business matters.
Solutions are assessed according to regulatory compliance, reliability, security, timing and the client’s international structure. Where relevant, coordination may involve established private banks, custodians or asset managers such as Citi Private Bank, HSBC Global Private Banking, BNP Paribas Wealth Management, BlackRock and Amundi, subject to independent professional advice and client relationships.
Lifestyle Support for International Families
For wealthy families, lifestyle support brings personal requests, education, international travel, residences, private staff, security, collections and external specialist relationships together within one coordinated framework.
We assist with daily and strategic family matters, from selecting schools and planning complex travel to coordinating residences, managing valuable collections, preparing an estate for the family’s arrival and engaging independent legal, tax or wealth advisers.
Lifestyle Support for Founders and Business Owners
For entrepreneurs, investors and business owners, lifestyle management relieves principals and executive teams of private, representational, property-related and international matters requiring exceptional trust and precise execution.
We establish effective communication between principals, executive assistants, family offices, asset managers, lawyers, advisers and service providers. This enables the client to focus on investments, leadership and strategic priorities while private infrastructure remains professionally coordinated.
Working with Very Important Personnel
Very Important Personnel specialises in confidential recruitment and support for the private infrastructure of HNW and UHNW clients. Through our shared ecosystem with Catamaran Family Office, clients receive private staffing services and broader assistance encompassing lifestyle management, luxury assets, international mobility, private security, education and personal projects.
Clients benefit from one confidential support framework, access to vetted experts, personalised service, coordination across multiple disciplines and the ability to address both immediate and long-term family or business requirements.
We consider the principal’s lifestyle, geographic distribution of assets, family composition, expected service standards, involvement of personal assistants and representatives, existing relationships with institutions such as Morgan Stanley Private Wealth Management or Goldman Sachs, and the requirement for long-term support.
