01 — Greystone Recruitment
Specialist private staffing for professional footballers and private households in the UK and internationally.
Discreet by design
02 — Our Specialisms
We are known first and foremost for our network of exceptional Private Chefs. Around that specialism sits a wider household capability, built from the same network and held to the same standard.
Our strongest network, and the reason most clients find us. We place Private Chefs with professional athletes whose performance depends on precise, consistent nutrition as well as with families who simply want to eat exceptionally well at home.
Every chef we bring to your table has been assessed on the two things you care most about: their culinary skills and how they carry themselves inside a private home.

View roles03 — Who We Work With
Footballers, boxers, drivers and Olympians whose diet, recovery and travel schedule are part of the job. Usually introduced by an agent, concierge or performance team.
Entertainers, Corporate leaders, Politicians and others in need of bespoke and discreet private staff.
Households where the appointment affects children, routines and privacy — and where fit matters more than technical skill and credentials alone.
Representatives placing staff around a client’s season, camp or relocation, often at short notice on a medium to long term basis.
Principals’ offices appointing across multiple properties and jurisdictions, with contracts, vetting and payroll handled formally.
Partners who need a trusted specialist behind them when a member request moves beyond their own bench of staff.
05 — Our Approach
A private conversation about the household, the standards, the personalities and what has not worked before.
We approach a known network directly and confidentially. Roles are rarely advertised and never named publicly.
In-person meetings, trade tests where relevant, employment history verified and references taken up personally.
A short, considered shortlist — typically three — with our honest reasoning on each, including the reservations.
Offer, contract and trial period supported, then we stay in contact through the first year of the appointment.
06 — International
We place staff across the UK and into Europe, the Gulf and North America — for permanent residences, seasonal homes and clients who move with a season or a fixture list. Visa status, right to work and rotational structures are established before a shortlist is ever presented.
