British butlers in demand among foreign super-rich

World Update

Available for over a year

Blame Downton Abbey perhaps, but British butlers have found themselves increasingly in demand among emerging economies such as China and Russia. But what is it like to serve the super-rich – and what makes a good butler? Andrew Coys has been a butler for almost half a century, and Sara Vestin Rahmani is director of Bespoke Bureau, the British Butler Academy. (Photo: Some of the budding butlers in action.
