Moving Mountains: Seamless Relocation and Property Management for the World’s Elite

In this dynamic world, life moves fast—and sometimes, your entire life needs to move with it. Whether you are transitioning to a new continent, downsizing, upscaling, or simply streamlining your property portfolio, the complexities of domestic and international relocation can be staggering.

At Willow Concierge, our core expertise lies in transforming this overwhelming process into a seamless, expertly managed experience. We don’t just coordinate; we orchestrate every detail, allowing you to focus on your personal and professional priorities.

Here is a glimpse into how our tailored moving and property management services provide peace of mind and unparalleled control for our clients:

Navigating International Relocation with Precision

When a client makes a major international move, the challenge extends far beyond logistics. It requires meticulous planning, cultural sensitivity, and a comprehensive approach to settling into a new life.

• London to Rio de Janeiro: The Art of the Move. We recently assisted a client relocating from London to Brazil. This move involved more than just transferring a household; it required the expert packing, transit, and customs clearance of a large and valuable art and antique furniture collection. Simultaneously, we acted as a trusted partner in their new life, conducting in-depth research and coordination to secure their young son a place at the perfect international school in their new city. Our role was not just moving their items, but moving their family’s life forward, securely and thoughtfully.

• To Spain and Beyond: Asset Management and Disposal. Another client is currently planning their move to Spain. Their transition involves a complex scenario where a variety of valuable possessions need to be either moved, placed in long-term secure storage, or sold for the best possible market price. Our team is currently managing this, leveraging our network of trusted storage providers and auction houses to ensure maximum value retention and minimal client effort.

Managing Property Transitions and Transformations

Relocation often coincides with significant property changes—buying, selling, and renovating. Our service package is designed to manage these major life events effortlessly.

• Upscaling and Renovation in the UK. For one client, we managed the successful sale of their original UK home and their upscale move to a new property. This was a large-scale project that also included the sale of two UK holiday homes. Our involvement was total and hands-on, encompassing:

• Vendor Coordination: Organising and managing architects, legal teams, surveyors, and contractors.

• Renovation Management: Creating detailed snag lists, ensuring quality control, and overseeing a large renovation project at their new home.

• Home Preparation: Expertly managing the movement and secure storage of personal possessions during the transition.

• Essential Logistics: Organising utilities, repairs, cleaning and even arranging necessary property-specific services, such as a full pest treatment to clear one of the properties ahead of its sale.

Seamless Overseas Property Management

Our commitment to our clients doesn't end when the moving vans pull away. For our clients who split their lives between London and overseas, we offer ongoing property and staff management services that ensure their UK assets remain pristine, secure, and ready for their return.

• Ready for Arrival. We currently support several clients living abroad by managing their UK properties and their domestic staff. Our team provides continuous oversight, ensuring all maintenance is carried out promptly, utilities and council services are taken care of, and the homes are consistently maintained to an exacting standard. When our clients visit, they step back into a fully operational, immaculate home without the headache of pre-arrival preparation.

Moving life, whether across a city or an ocean, is one of the most stressful undertakings a person can face. Our mission is to alleviate that stress entirely.

From the safe transport of irreplaceable art to the complexity of global school searches and the intricate management of multi-property sales and renovations. Willow Concierge provides the expertise and discretion your life demands. Your Life Made Easier.

From Micro Pigs to Private Chefs: The Art of Stress-Free Event Planning

According to a study by World Scholarship Vault, event planning has been ranked as the third most stressful job in the world.

Are you looking to put on a lavish dinner party? Or celebrate that special someone’s birthday in style? At Willow Concierge, we believe that life's most precious moments should be savoured, not spent stressing over the logistics. We specialize in crafting seamless, luxurious experiences, freeing you up to focus on what truly matters.

We recently planned an intimate dinner party at a client's home. We curated a bespoke experience, from selecting the perfect private chef and a professional mixologist to sourcing rare wines and beautiful, complementary tableware. The result? A night of exceptional cuisine and effortless elegance.

For a client's 50th birthday, we orchestrated a grand celebration at a top London private members' club. Our biggest challenge was coordinating flights and transfers for 40 guests traveling all the way from Brazil. We handled every detail, ensuring friends and family could celebrate together without a hitch.

For a pig-obsessed 10-year-old, we created a truly memorable birthday. We organized a custom piggy cake made by a specialist cake designer and, to the delight of all the kids, arranged for three adorable micro pigs and their handlers to visit the house.

Organising events for our clients naturally comes with immense pressure to make such deeply personal occasions run without any hitches, and we strive to supersede their expectations. But it is incredibly satisfying to see everything come together, and the joy that such events bring.

Willow Concierge is all about taking the stress out of your life and helping free up your time.

Protecting What Matters: Professional Art Collection Management

Did you know the British art market was worth an incredible £8.6 billion in sales in 2023? It's not just about the numbers; this vibrant industry supports tens of thousands of jobs and injects significant value into the UK economy. For art collectors, this often means managing incredibly valuable — and deeply personal — assets.

At Willow Concierge, we understand the immense value our clients place on their art and antique collections. Beyond their monetary worth, these pieces often carry profound emotional significance. That's why we support our clients with the management of their collections, providing peace of mind so they can get on with enjoying their passion.

We recently had a client, a passionate collector and founder of a globally-recognised art foundation, who needed to consolidate a large number of artworks from around the world. We meticulously catalogued every item, arranged secure, climate-controlled storage where needed, and even entrusted specialist removal firms we knew would handle everything with the utmost care. For this client, art is a lifestyle, and we continue to manage their collection, from updating inventories to attending auctions on their behalf, arranging for cross-border shipping of newly acquired artwork so they can be enjoyed and loved in their home. This frees our client from the tedious admin and stress, allowing them to focus on what they love.

This is just one way Willow Concierge simplifies our clients' lives. From event planning to daily diary management, household maintenance, or personal shopping, our bespoke concierge and lifestyle services are designed to expertly handle important tasks and free up your precious time. Your Life Made Easier.
