Signature Staff

Hire a Household Private Chef

Signature Staff (previously trading as Blues Agency) has been the leading British private chef agency for over 40 years, working with families in the UK and overseas.

We understand that expectations are high when it comes to hiring private chefs given that they work so closely with families in an intimate setting.

The Signature Staff consultants take great pride in getting to know our clients on personal level and, as a result, are able to give unparalleled advice and ongoing support both during and after the placement has been made.

In short, we are here to take the stress away not only with the recruitment of the chef but also to provide you with someone who will be a pleasure to have around in your home and make dining an enjoyable and hassle-free experience.
