INTERVIEW - I attend many international events where I know a lot of the new world and where it is really a pleasure to be able to attend such events, like the Oscars, the Cannes Film Festival and many other important events in the luxury world. - The winnings are tailored to the services provided, these are luxury services at a very high level and, of course, the winnings are very good. - The most important advantages are that I can have, over time, good incomes, happiness, a good quality of life and do not have to depend on anyone, doing what I like. LLA: What difficulties did you face in managing your own company? CB: As for the difficulties, I can say that there is no fear. As in any business, there are better or worse times and more pretentious or less pretentious clients, otherwise, everything is normal and under control. There are also some surprises that you do not expect, but you must always be prepared, and there is an immediate alternative. The most difficult demands that I remember at the moment were: - Organizing a romantic dinner in the desert. - When organizing a private party on a yacht, the client wanted to bring from the country of origin certain food and drink products on that day, and it was necessary to get in touch with those in the respective country and send them with a private plane to arrive in the shortest time by the start of the party. - Organizing a private event where the client wanted to have dinner with a celebrity. - Obtaining a very important work of art and exclusive gifts from a limited edition in the world. - Hiring in a luxury villa for a few days, with one of the most famous Michelin-starred Chefs in the world. LLA: Your Company offers concierge services worldwide. How did you manage to create this wide network of specialists in different countries around the globe? CB: First of all, the idea of this company is to be very exclusive and personal tailor-made, where we prefer to have a small number of clients but with very high demands. In general, I am the basic person who personally deals with all clients and members of the company. Many of these clients want me to personally take care of their services.
