March Butler School 2015
A truly fantastic group of students passed through our doors after the recent March 2015 graduating ceremony. Some will go back to their jobs others will return to the various parts of the Globe which they call home, and some will go onto The Ritz London hotel to gain work experience. Without doubt they leave full of optimism and confidence in the skills attained during the course. Interviews are already underway for students who have applied for jobs through The Institute. Without doubt I have every confidence that they will find excellent jobs and fulfil their dreams and goals.
Well done to you all and as you are part of the family now, we look forward to hearing from you and assisting you in anyway we can.Kindest regards
Mr Gary Williams,

Student Testimonials
My experience on the course was nothing more than superb. Gary’s expertise is second to none and his course content and structure was perfect.
Having checked other courses I definitely made the right decision and would certainly recommend this to anyone thinking of going into this industry.
…Also Gary has secured me a job in a beautiful private household in London which I’m truly grateful for.
Mr Gary Williams
Principal The British Butler Institute
I would like to pass to you a huge thank you for the course so excellently delivered by yourself. It was informative, inspiring and interspersed with your anecdotes, very enjoyable. I have come away feeling well equipped, confident and excited at the prospect of a career in service as a butler.
The whole experience from the outset, beginning with Claire in administration, through to the delivery and content of the course itself had exceeded all my expectations. The course along with your guidance has helped me to firmly commit to pursuing a career as a butler, so I am sure, that I may call upon your excellent services again for further training in the near future, where hopefully our paths will cross again.
Many thanks again and kindest regards
Gordon Kay
Thank you Gary.
I also want to say that I’m very happy with the training. £5000 was an investment but it’s totally worth it. The flower class today was amazing. And not doubt tomorrow will be the same.
Have a good evening.
Regards.
Vincent

Dear Gary and Philip
good morning to you both and I hope all is well. I have finally got pen to paper electronically and wanted to say how much I thoroughly enjoyed the four week course. I have really missed it last week and coming into class with the other students and just socialising. it really has been one of the best times of my life. it was great having the Friday shop days and just seeing a little glimpse of a totally different London.
I thank you both for the passion and commitment you give to this course and industry/profession. it has really given me a new perspective on life. just putting some of the language and actions into normal daily life gets a good reaction from people.
I have my one week placement at the Ritz London in a couple of weeks time and look forward to it.
I know I will be in contact again for help or guidance but until then I remain yours sincerely
Peter Lambert
Dear Mr Williams, Thank you for your lovely e mail and kind words. Thank you so much once again for having given me the experience of a life time, so much knowledge and the opportunity to meet such an incredible group of people and God willing life time friends. Words will never be enough to express my gratitude to yourself and to your team at the British Butler Institute who all made this possible for each and every one of us. University is going well, it will be an extremely intense semester but am very excited to be finishing soon my career and cannot wait actually to start working, use my skills and get on to the next step in life although as you very well recommended I am enjoying every day as it comes since this is also a fantastic experience whilst studying at school. Hope all is well wherever you are traveling and looking forward to hearing from you soon,
Kindest regards, Sam
Dear Gary,
This week in Rostock, Germany I have been thinking a lot about the training at the British Butler Institute. Once again I would like to thank you for the efficient and well prepared course in September.
After a slow paced, week-long training for seafarers I got my certification today and I will start as a butler in a team of seven on ‘MV Europa 2’ next Friday in Chennai, India. It’s a brand new German cruise ship from Hapag-Lloyd with the most favourable room per passenger ratio currently on sea. Surprised to get this position and excited at the same time, I am looking forward to discover how it feels to be a butler. Thereafter I still envisage an Executive MBA at Ecole Hotelière de Lausanne and study hard to pass their criterias.
Should you have particular advise for such a position I am more then happy about it.
My very best regards,

tortoise in the Palace grounds be for pest control spray for sneakers and scorpions, relocating all the staff into new accommodation, serving afternoon
tea to dignitaries, having a tour round Qatar airways new Cargo terminal (55.000sq feet) and arranging flowers, makeover of the old palace garden, cleaning all the silver ………. i could go on,but you get the picture!!…. so yes all good.Thanks for getting back to me….. and for the job over here, hope to meetone day.

Hi Gary,
I just wanted to say thank you again for organising and running a fantastic programme last week.
The feedback from the 30 students has been brilliant and they all appeared to have thoroughly enjoyed the two days.
I hope that we can run similar sessions in the future.
