“I’ve had the opportunity to work with Drew; he is always highly professional, quick to respond and very helpful in often complex situations. I highly recommend him to anyone who is thinking about starting a business relationship with him.”

Jeremy Kirkland, Private Banker, Edmond de Rothschild, Monaco
“Drew came to our lives six months before we arrived in England from Italy to oversee the transition into our new life. He took control of everything, personally introducing us to a wonderful banker, arranging purchase of a country house and rental of a London flat. He then staffed both to the highest standard and set us up with the education consultant who has ensured our daughter is now happy and succeeding at school. He made professional and social introductions tailored specifically to both me and my wife which we are so grateful for. What could have been a nightmare was a pleasure, and we continue to call on him for support regularly. For anyone facing a similar challenge, I cannot recommend him highly enough.”

The successful partnerships that Drew has been able to facilitate have been based on strong, authentic synergies and nurtured with care, attention and creativity."
