The story behind Gentlemans Butler
The son of Pamela Isabel Grenville and Reginald Basil Dupont Grenville.
His mother, a true lady exemplified the ethos of grace, style, and etiquette, cultural and social appreciation. She could cook, sew, flower arrange, knew how to put on a great dinner party, instigate conversation and was a fantastic mother.
His father, a Virgo like Michael having left school at the age of 14 through hard work and diligence created a network of companies in the building sector. He was a man with a dry wit.
The youngest of 4 children, Michael believes Gentlemans Butler embodies these beliefs. Michael’s love for London, spiritually, comes from my grandfather who was impeccably dressed in his Camel coat and brogues shined to perfection, a fantastic raconteur from Holland Park. He was definitely a true London Gent.
Thank you can be said in many ways but say it. Excellence can be buying a fresh loaf of bread or a pair of fine Italian silk gloves. Expensive does not equal quality nor does cheap mean rubbish.
An interesting world has a place for both the kind hearted as well as the amusing rogue.
Love and romance might be a weekend in Monaco or a boyfriend taking his girlfriend to see his favourite football team.
If you think about James Bond, he has that relatively unique mix of machismo and sensuality. This is key to Gentlemans Butler’s thinking, knowing about style, grooming, fragrance whilst loving boys with toys and classic adventure. Gentlemen are not James Bond, so often need some help, which is where Gentlemans Butler comes in. It’s about class, distinction and finding the unique. It’s about “living the dream” whether this is for an hour or for your whole life.
