In practice, the liaison is the number your chief of staff dials instead of eleven suppliers. We work daily with personal assistants, executive assistants and family office directors who book on behalf of a principal they may prefer never to name in writing. The desk keeps a standing preference file for each family: cabin layouts, dietary protocols, the firmness of a pillow, the model of car seat a grandchild uses, the vintage that should be breathing on the aft deck when the tender comes alongside.
Every engagement opens under a mutual non-disclosure agreement, signed before itineraries or names change hands. Invoicing is corporate: one consolidated statement per journey or per quarter, issued to the entity your office designates, with line-item detail your accountants can reconcile without a follow-up call. Where governance requires it, we report on your templates, not ours.
The desk also keeps working hours aligned to your markets rather than ours: overnight coverage for offices instructing from London, Geneva, New York and the Gulf, and a duty advisor on the ground in Bali for anything that must happen before breakfast. Requests arrive by whichever channel your office prefers, and every confirmation returns in writing, with names, timings and registration plates your security team can verify before the family moves.
