The Trainers

Mr Rick Fink is supported by a team of loyal and experienced teaching staff for the training of students who wish to achieve wide-range skills to become traditional British butlers. On the occasions when there are no butler training courses running at the school, our trainers return to their individual freelance butling duties, thus keeping their professional expertise up to date.

Mr Rick Fink leads all course tuition and will be present at every course.

We have experienced and inspiring trainers who are specialised in particular aspects and will provide hands-on training during the course.
