About KNIGHT DAY - Lifestyle Management

Private Lifestyle Management

Discreet support for individuals and families who value time, continuity, and exceptional standards.

 

After many years operating at senior level within some of the world's most distinguished Family Offices, I now offer that same standard of trusted presence to a select group of clients.

 

Knight Day is founder-led and deliberately small.  One person.  Full attention.  No exceptions.

 

 

What this work looks like: -

 

People & Relationships

  • First point of contact for VIP political dignitaries, royalty, heads of state, private bankers, lawyers, physicians, art dealers and close family
  • Gatekeeper to principals across business and personal affairs, including private security coordination
  • Sourced a Buckingham Palace-trained butler for a Fund of Funds founder
  • Clients sometimes need access to people and talent that simply can't be found through conventional channels; sourced a globally acclaimed portrait photographer — known for his defining images of some of the world's most recognised names — for a private commission

 

Property & Estates

  • Managed UK and Swiss property portfolios across eleven residences
  • Oversaw renovation of a Grade I listed Mayfair apartment and rebuild of a Grade II listed townhouse — both on time, within budget; the latter achieving a 40% increase in value
  • Coordinated shoot logistics — gun transportation, licensing, insurance, cartridges, equipment, loaders, staff, catering, accommodation, 4x4s, helicopters and post-shoot follow-up
  • Competitively sourced service providers, created annual maintenance programmes, tenant handbooks and digitised management systems on seven prime location London residences
  • Identified a swimming pool leak responsible for significant utility overpayments
  • Successfully navigated insurance claims process to secure full reimbursement for significant roof repairs at a Newbury estate.
  • Updated security systems, insurance policies and asset inventories across all properties

Art, Wine & Collections

  • Coordinated global shipping of fine art and furniture — Sotheby's New York to London, South Africa to UK
  • Sourced the work of a contemporary Japanese artist across global galleries and private collections
  • Liaised with the principal's art curator to develop and add value to existing collections
  • Ordered fine wine en primeur and arranged delivery to UK bonded storage
  • Administered duty, VAT and customs on international purchases

Travel & Events

  • Arranged commercial and private aviation, yachts, rented villas in Marbella and St Tropez, and complex multi-destination itineraries across Tanzania, Mozambique, Botswana and Romania
  • Raised £750,000 for charity organising a 500-person ball at the Grosvenor House Hotel
  • Acquired the Locarno Suite at The Foreign & Commonwealth Office and oversaw the VIP launch party of UK's Condé Nast Traveller magazine 
  • Secured tickets to Glyndebourne, Wimbledon and Ascot; coordinated private shoots, dinners and VIP client events

Financial & Administration

  • Reconciled contractor costs, negotiated building contracts and cut unnecessary expenditure
  • Managed fund transfers, salaries, bank reconciliations and account management
  • Updated concise charity donation records
