Founded by entrepreneur Lewis Clennell in 2019, Achieve Hospitality is a bespoke international recruitment agency that prides itself on being at the forefront of recruitment. The expert team provides tailor-made services for Ultra-High-Net-Worth (UHNW) individuals and luxury hospitality outlets worldwide with one goal in mind: achieving excellence at every turn.

Comprised of a team of hospitality and private industry professionals with decades of combined experience in managerial and executive positions in the hospitality and private household industries, Achieve Hospitality has the knowledge and skill to match clients with best-suited candidates, no matter the role. With clientele spanning UHNWIs, a-list celebrities and royals, the London-based company provides tailor-made, premium luxury lifestyle concierge services and assists in acquiring world-class household staff. Whether it be personal assistants, household managers, nannies, private chefs, chauffeurs, butlers or housekeepers, Achieve Hospitality can find your home’s perfect fit.

In the hospitality sector, the company provides Michelin-starred restaurants and leading hotel groups with consultancy and recruitment services, including fulfilling all positions, from Executive Chefs to General Managers. The staffing services also extend to those required for luxury yachts and private jets.

Achieve Hospitality has, too, tapped into the long-sought-after need for estate management services. This new offering provides private households with a bespoke wealth of knowledge and experience in assessing a home’s needs whilst ensuring efficiency and excellence in staffing throughout. The company’s highly experienced team comes with direct industry backgrounds allowing them to deliver the most bespoke and effective household solutions to clients.

Inspired by a commitment to provide outstanding assistance during the global pandemic, Achieve Hospitality distinguishes itself with a unique, consultative-focused approach. Recognising that the hospitality and private sectors operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, reliability is one of Achieve Hospitality’s core principles. As are professionalism, discretion and commitment to clients.

Offering services from Belgravia to Beverly Hills and everywhere in between, whether it’s for land, air or sea, the company appreciates the need for high-calibre candidates in all locations. Understanding that one size does not fit all when it comes to recruitment, Clennell and his expert team tailor each and every service to meet their clients’ specific needs.

Interview with Achieve Hospitality’s founder Lewis Clennell

Tell us more about Achieve Hospitality’s history, philosophy and goals?

History: I launched Achieve Hospitality in 2019, focusing on recruitment for luxury hospitality, soon expanding into the UHNW and private household market. We now recruit for clients worldwide.

Philosophy & Goals: We strive to achieve excellence in all of the services we provide. We’re a contemporary recruitment and consulting agency that believe that offering our bespoke services enables us to build continuing relationships with both our clients and candidates. With a keen eye for gaps in the market, I continue to grow my team to keep up with business demand and have many exciting plans for Achieve Hospitality’s future.

What kind of services does the company offer?

As industry leaders, we are proud to be the first and only recruitment and consulting agency to provide an estate management consulting service, a long-awaited and one-of-a-kind service. We offer a unique package of skills, advice and services to private household operations, both in the UK and overseas, that we have carefully designed.

At Achieve Hospitality we use our experience to help you build your business and push your operation from strength to strength. We work as independent consultants alongside your business and team. With our affordable solutions that are tailored to your operation, we can help you increase sales, profitability and employee productivity whilst pushing your business ahead of the competition.

What industries do you work in and why these?

Initially, we focused on recruitment for luxury hospitality. Once we became a well-established company, we soon expanded into the UHNW and private household industry.

I have a strong background in hospitality management and therefore, I decided to recruit in this sector. I then saw an opportunity for a private and UHNW recruitment agency to thrive in the market. I am extremely passionate about both industries.

Tell us about the company’s core principles and how these are upheld in its services?

Integrity — We have a genuine interest in people whether that be our staff, clients or candidates and we appreciate the need for honesty, openness and respect. We always build lasting and sustainable relationships

Passion — We are extremely passionate about everything that we do at Achieve Hospitality. We are passionate about the whole process, candidates’ careers and clients’ businesses and we are always committed to finding the right cultural fit and supporting career development. We are always prepared to go the extra mile for clients and candidates.

Bespoke — We believe that success is only measured by the quality of people within your home and/or business. We understand that one size does not fit all when it comes to recruitment and therefore, we offer a bespoke service tailoring all of our clients’ specific needs.

Excellence — Our team strives to achieve excellence in all of the services we provide. We make sure that we always get things right the first time. We pride ourselves on helping our clients achieve their recruitment goals. It’s what gets us out of bed in the morning!

Agile — Achieve Hospitality adapts and evolves. We are always ready to respond to any issue/concern. This constant evolution is needed to meet the demands of our clients, candidates and colleagues in such a fluctuating, demanding market.

What are some of the difficulties you face in this industry, and how do you overcome them?

It is without question that recruitment is a competitive industry. However, we believe that with Achieve Hospitality we have developed a strong and unrivalled concept to ensure that we are always on top of our game when it comes to competitors in the industry.

How do you think you carved a niche as the go-to for recruitment needs for UHNW clients? What sets you apart from other agencies?

We offer a consultative approach towards private staffing solutions. We recognise the need for high-calibre candidates in all locations. We understand that one size does not fit all when it comes to recruitment and therefore, we offer a bespoke service tailoring all of our clients’ specific needs.

Your service is bespoke, catering specifically to clients’ needs — how do you go about doing this effectively?

Before we secure a new client, we always ensure that we have all the information provided to succeed in tailoring to their every need whether that be recruiting for household staff, offering our estate management consulting service or aiding in a new business opening.

What are some of the most important factors you consider when fostering the recruitment process, both from the employee and employer’s perspectives?

Our staff remain contactable at all times, it isn’t unheard of for recruiters to “ghost” candidates and sometimes even clients! It is our responsibility to ensure that both clients and candidates are aware of what stage of recruitment they are in and feel valued by us.

How do you hope your services will impact the lives of your clients?

We work accordingly with our clients to fulfil their recruitment and/or consulting needs. We make staffing their estate, household, hotel, yacht, chalet and/or jet a seemingly effortless process.
