Will war ruin Tory party chair’s firm?

As the Prime Minister and his government urge caution to companies over Russian engagement, will party figures be considering their own business affairs? With CCHQ coming under pressure over Russian donations in the past, Mr S couldn’t help but recall that Ben Elliot’s Quintessentially firm has a long history with Russia and high net worth individuals.

The company – which has received more than £1 million in UK government contracts – makes much of its elite services on its website, boasting about how ‘our dedicated lifestyle managers make the impossible possible with access to private and exclusive cultural experiences, regularly making members’ dreams become reality.’ The group’s Moscow office claims to have:

Nearly 15 years’ experience providing luxury lifestyle management services to Russia’s elite and corporate members.’ Our office employs over 50 lifestyle managers, each of whom has completed a specialised training program. They work around-the-clock 365 days per year to provide personal concierge services to each member.
