Case studies and recommendations Andrew Cosslett – Life Client Andrew first came to Aparo Life Management as he was looking for support to cover his wide range of business activities, as well as a busy personal calendar. For simplicity, Andrew wanted one point of contact that would support him in all areas of his life. He was aware that his commitments fluctuated so he wanted access to flexible support that was also available to him 24/7. Aparo has allocated Andrew with his own dedicated Life Manager who knows his world inside out, and is able to be pro-active, as well as reactive, to his changing priorities. Entirely comfortable in dealing with high- level stakeholders, Andrew’s Life Manager is very aware that every interaction on his behalf has to be dealt with professionally, and with the highest degree of accuracy. Alongside this he is able to request face-to- face time when required. This is flexible depending on his schedule, and has varied from once a week to once a month, depending on his current portfolio commitments. “I have worked Steph Lucas for over three years, the service that I have received from Aparo Life Management has been of the highest standard. The attention to detail and integrity with which they operate are just two of the many reasons that I would recommend them to anyone looking for PA services.” Andrew Cosslett, Business Executive Elvis Burgess – Life Client Based in Buckinghamshire Elvis has lead a very dynamic life and has a range of personal and business interests. We support her on an add hoc basis and act as a point of contact for any life challenges that she would like support with. This has included – managing the full sale process of a recent rental property from giving notice to the tenants to confirming the sale funds have been received to her bank. “Steph Lucas and Aparo Life Management are the answer to many problems. I have worked with Steph over many months and her diligence, integrity, efficiency, and speed of action is amazing. I am very happy to recommend them.” Elvis Burgess, Retired Ann Knight – Property Client Based in Richmond Ann and her family own a second home on the Sandbanks peninsular in Poole. Ann was looking for a service which would mean she did not need to concern herself with the day to day running of the property or the hassle of setting up and packing down every time the family came to visit. She wanted her beach house to be an escape from her busy life. Aparo have taken on the full management of the property. Overseen by our property manager, we have an ongoing maintenance programme to fix problems before they occur including regular property checks to inspect for any arising maintenance or security issues, we are also on hand for emergency call outs should they be needed. Along with the physical maintenance of the property we also take care of the soft services, including clear down once the property has been used and make up for when guests are
