Stefanie Harper

Thank you for giving me back my confidence! I feel like a new person.

Tracy Von Brock

It was the most amazing experience that I have ever had! Initially I was a bit apprehensive to do such an intensive course but my fears were unfounded as I felt totally at home with the Institute. Claire was simply amazing and her Royal experience has helped me to host the most fantastic dinners for my family and friends. Again thank you.

Kurin Roti

Unbelievable experience. The best tutors I have come across, even the school I did 8 years ago in Switzerland was not anyway near as professional and thorough. Simply surpassed all my expectations.

Mr Ogundusola

I made a friend and gained a life skill what more could I ask for. Thank you Mr Williams!!!!

Fantastic feedback

Many thanks for the opportunity to train with your delightful client, Laila. I had a super two days and I think she made excellent progress and thoroughly enjoyed it too. The lady was very interested in the possibility of British Butler Institute running a course in Nigeria and I told her to speak to you about it as I do not know if this is something you would consider or not. Apparently they have a Finishing School there (American owned and run) but she did not consider the standard to be very high at all and was full of praise for the course she was getting from you – which is fantastic feedback!

Linna Yu

Helen Tailor

Dear Gary,

First may I say, it was a great pleasure meeting you. You were such a delightful individual with wisdom and skill beyond your years.  The information and process with which you handle yourself and clientele was inspiring. My team took away more than lovely tea and cakes.  The experience far exceeded my expectations and theirs.  I will be sharing that experience with many for years to come.

I have reached out to my team several times but apparently only one photo has been sent to me so far. As they come in, I will continue to forward.

Thank you again. I can’t tell you how much your style, candor, wisdom, polish and knowledge impressed  me.  I do hope our paths cross again.

All my best,

What I really enjoyed about today, is to never highlight a negative aspect of yourself, don’t compare yourself to somebody else. Ask yourself what is good about a negative situation. Confidence is also in you posture. Many thanks Gary

Mr Mittal (Industrialist)

Dear Gary,

It was my honor and pleasure to be under your guidance for 5 days. I didn’t get to know how time passed by. I think I am a new man now.

The haircut was excellent. Obviously, we went for the side partition as you had suggested. It looks perfect. I will send you a picture once I am back in India.

I went to Savile Row yesterday and took an appointment for tuesday for measurements. You were so right, I went to a few shops(most were closed) tried out some jackets, got free consultations. I am going for Prince of wales, Super 130’s 100 percent wool 3 piece suit.

I will keep you updated as and how I progress.

Have a great weekend.

Warm Regards,

G Mittal

Mary Veale (Switzerland)

Dear Gary

Many thanks for this feedback. Maddison and Theo where both very excited to be able to tell us that they had passed!

It was nice for me to know that you picked up on the same errors that I keep telling them to think about and that they need to realise that only thinking about it every time they sit down at the table will it then be instinctive to sit correctly, hold their cutlery correctly etc.

Kind regards (July 2012)

Mr G Mittal (Industrialist)

Dear Gary,

Thank you Gary for giving me the opportunity, I think it is a great 5 day training program. Since it is one to one every of my needs are bespoke and taken care of. Sometimes you (I) have no idea what to expect and what is the difference it is going to make. I already feel a confidence buildup and feel more enthusiastic to go out present myself to others.

It feels nice to see people looking at you while walking, people giving way, it feels you are important. Simple, crisp things which Gary told me has changed my life instantly.

I think everyone should if given an opportunity should do this course. It makes you a better presentable person. I will come back next year to do this course again. It will take me to the next level. Thank you for making me a more confident person and a better individual.

My sincere thanks for the most memorable 3 days of my life. The Ritz was spectacular for the working lunch and the classes were so relevant to what I was lacking in my professional life. Again many thanks to Mr Williams and Claire for all your help.
