Foreword by the Duke & Duchess of Somerset
We have both known Mr. Haynes for many years now, having first become acquainted with him as the head butler at the home of an old friend.
The house in question was run with considerable efficiency, despite being a demanding and extremely busy focal point for formal entertaining on a grand scale.
We are very pleased that he has decided that Bradley House offers the perfect environment in which he and his team can teach all the fundamentals of the role of butler, both in its traditional and modern form, and confident that those of you who decide to attend the course will leave not only with the perfect grounding for a future career but also with happy memories of your stay
