LONDON . NEW YORK Frequently Asked Questions Who looks after my account? Each member is looked after by a small team, who are always available in person, on the end of a phone or via email. We manage a huge variety of requests, with the same meticulous attention to detail and a swift turnaround whether they’re large or small. I already have an assistant, what can Concierge add? With over 15 years’ experience, we have built a wealth of knowledge and carefully chosen contacts, so we complement the work of our members’ assistants. We are always on hand for urgent, specialised or last-minute tasks, acting as an extension to existing teams, adding value and efficiency. How do we differ from our competitors? Our focus is on quality rather than quantity. Because Concierge membership is capped, we can offer a higher, more bespoke level of service. It is our policy never to mark up prices and always negotiate with suppliers. We do not have subsidiary teams (for example, travel or recruitment) so our recommendations are appropriate, impartial and personalised. LONDON . NEW YORK Conci e rge LONDON . NEW YORK.

  • Gentlemanly Professionals and Men-About-Town: Occupational Identities Amongst London Advertising Men, 1951-67
    Gentlemanly Professionals and Men-about-Town: Occupational Identities amongst London Advertising Men, 1951-67 In Portrait of a Decade, his autobiographical reflections on the opening up of London life in the first ten years after the War, Evening Standard journalist Douglas Sutherland suggested that the ‘advertising executive’ was the most emblematic figure of the ‘changing atmosphere’ that took hold as the city emerged from the gloom of the immediate post-war years. In ‘a dark-grey suit armed with his lavish expenses account … [he] commanded the best tables in the most expensive and exclusive restaurants’. For Sutherland, these advertising executives embodied the ‘new air of buoyancy’ in London’s expanding economy, alongside ‘the bankers, the stockbrokers and the wheeler-dealers of the City’ and the new cadres of industrialists and property developers. 1 It was ‘admen’, however, who led the way amongst this group of entrepreneurs, defining a new style of ‘business executive with the slim briefcase, the rolled umbrella and dark-grey suit’. 2 Sutherland’s placing of the ‘advertising executive’ at the heart of the commercial renaissance of the capital city registered important changes in London’s post-war economy. Employment in manufacturing and the docks fell sharply, their decline accelerating between 1961and 1973. At the same time sectors like fashion, design, magazine publishing and advertising brought nearly a quarter of a million jobs to London in the 1960s. These employment trends consolidated the already dominant position of service work in the capital and were given a further boost by the relaxation of planning laws and the rise of property speculation in the late 1950s and early 1960s.

  • Smear Innuendo & Lie JMG V Gillard Ccvol1
    Smear, Innuendo and Knowing Lie Submission to the Press Council in the Case of Goldsmith V Gillard and The Observer ON SUNDAY June 27, 1982 an article appeared in The Observer signed by Mr Michael Gillard and Ms Lorana Sullivan (Appendix 1) in which I was linked to a scandal which has since become known as the Calvi/Ambrosiano affair. On Sunday July 4, 1982 an article (Appendix 2) appeared in The Observer signed by Mr Michael Gillard in which my name was mentioned in connection with another financial scandal. On this occasion it concerned a company called Imperial Commodities. On Sunday November 28, 1982 an article (Appendix 3) was published in the Pendennis column of The Observer in which my name was indirectly associated with Mr John De Lorean. I would ask you to consider the companies and people involved. Mr Roberto Calvi was Chief Executive of the Banco Ambrosiano Group in Italy. The Banco Ambrosiano was the subject of one of the most scandalous financial bankruptcies in contemporary history. Mr Calvi was found dead in London and there has been much speculation as to whether or not he was murdered. Imperial Commodities was a commodity trading and speculation firm founded and run by a Mr Justin Frewen. It also went bankrupt and was the subject of a local British financial scandal. Mr John De Lorean was a well-known senior executive in the General Motors Group who left General Motors and subsequently, with the financial backing of the British Government, founded the De Lorean Car Company in Northern Ireland.

Michael Winship proved a challenging and supportive Director who knew when to push, when to lay off, and, in my weaker moments, when all I needed was a little encouragement. A compliment from Michael means a great deal, and I will always remember mine. I have truly enjoyed sharing this experience with him and hope we will stay in touch. I am thankful to Alan Friedman and Mia Carter, who offered valuable comments on drafts of the dissertation as well as work I produced throughout my time in graduate school. I owe special thanks to Wayne Lesser, who supported me in a variety of ways in his role as Graduate Adviser and stepped in as a member of my committee to ensure that I could defend in Summer 2012. My debt to Ira Nadel goes back farther than to the rest of my committee, as he advised me when I was applying to graduate schools in 2002.
