REQUEST VIP coordinates worldwide personal assistant concierge tasks around calendars, research, bookings, purchases, documents and provider follow-up, within written authority and confirmed coverage. Define who may instruct, what may be approved or paid, which data can be shared and when a task must escalate. The role is administrative coordination, not regulated professional judgment.

Key Facts

  • A request needs an owner, desired result, deadline, decision criteria and spending authority before execution.
  • Calendar access, identity documents, contacts, travel records and payment details should be limited by purpose and role.
  • Research, making a reservation, signing a contract and moving money are four different authority levels.
  • A named assistant, backup team and genuine continuous coverage are distinct staffing models and must be contracted separately.

Private Client Concierge

Personal assistance works best as a decision system rather than an unlimited task inbox. The opening profile can record time zones, core locations, family and office interfaces, communication preferences, recurring dates, accessibility or dietary needs, approval thresholds and excluded subjects. Store preference only when it remains useful and the client has authorised it.

The parent private client concierge covers broader household and specialist work. Recurring personal planning can also sit within lifestyle management; this page focuses more narrowly on one principal's administrative flow. REQUEST VIP must identify the actual staffed markets and hours instead of calling the service worldwide because messages can be received online.

Calendar, inbox and task triage

Set rules for which calendars the assistant may view or edit, who can invite the principal, which appointments require buffers and how travel time is recorded. A calendar entry should show status, location or secure joining instructions, owner and preparation deadline without exposing unnecessary confidential context.

Route incoming tasks by urgency and consequence. Routine research may proceed within the brief; a non-refundable booking, contract, property access, medical disclosure or high-value purchase should stop at the appropriate approval gate. Keep an action log with request, option, cost, expiry, approver, confirmation and next step. This creates continuity during handover without pretending that every conversation must be retained.

For gifts or recurring occasions, the gifts and flowers service can carry the product brief after capability is confirmed. The assistant should record recipient, delivery restrictions, message approval, total cost and cancellation rather than relying on an informal preference note.

Research, bookings and travel handoffs

A decision-ready research answer distinguishes verified fact, supplier statement, estimate and unresolved question. For a booking, provide legal supplier, exact product or service, total known cost, currency, hold deadline, deposit, cancellation, required names and accessibility conditions. Availability remains with the supplier until written confirmation.

Travel work should separate scheduling from carrier, immigration, medical and security decisions. The assistant can align flights, accommodation, ground transport and meetings, but official border sources and qualified advisers decide entry requirements; clinicians decide fitness or medical needs; licensed providers command protective travel. If language is material, use translation and interpreter coordination rather than asking an unqualified assistant to certify a legal or medical translation.

Delegated authority and payment controls

Create a matrix for research only, refundable hold, routine purchase, contract acceptance and bank transfer. State per-request and aggregate limits, approved merchants, permitted cards or accounts and transactions always requiring direct verification. A payment authority does not automatically include authority to accept supplier terms or disclose personal data.

Changes to bank details, recipient, invoice entity or delivery address need enhanced verification through a known channel. Record who approved the change and when. REQUEST VIP's ability to hold client money, use a payment instrument or procure as agent must not be inferred.

Privacy, employment and regulated boundaries

ICO guidance on purpose limitation and data minimisation says organisations should specify why information is used and restrict it to what is necessary. A personal-assistance workflow should therefore define access to passports, contacts, health or family details, retention and deletion, while following the applicable jurisdiction's law. Use separate secure channels for sensitive material and revoke access when a delegate or assistant changes.

If the assistant is hired directly, the real working relationship determines employment status; a label alone does not decide it. The UK government's April 2026 checklist is one jurisdictional example. The named employer and local advisers must handle contract, payroll, tax, leave, working time, insurance and right-to-work duties.

An assistant may schedule lawyers, accountants, doctors, investment advisers or security specialists but must not give their advice, sign reserved filings, diagnose, choose investments or direct protection operations. REQUEST VIP does not replace those regulated professionals.

Coverage and handover

Define primary contact, backup, staffed time zones, monitored channels, urgent threshold, response targets and the information passed at shift change. “Worldwide” describes the intended coordination geography only after capability is confirmed; it does not mean every location, language or hour is covered.

The commercial schedule should separate coordination fees, third-party costs, purchases, taxes, cancellations and unused funds. No rate, retainer or 24/7 claim should be published before business approval.

How It Works

  1. Share users, calendars, locations, priority task types, delegates, spending limits, service windows and exclusions.
  2. REQUEST VIP confirms the contact model, coverage, authority matrix, data channels, pricing basis and specialist boundaries.
  3. Submit a live request with deadline and criteria; review options, terms, approval point and unresolved facts.
  4. Receive the confirmation, updated action log, payment record where applicable and clear handover to the next responsible party.

FAQ

Will I have one dedicated personal assistant?

A named-contact model may be requested but is not confirmed for publication.

Is the personal assistant service available 24/7 worldwide?

No such coverage should be assumed. The agreement must identify countries, staffed hours, urgent channels, response targets, holidays and additional out-of-hours terms.

Can the assistant make purchases for me?

Only within an agreed authority and verified payment process. High-value, unusual, contract-forming or sensitive transactions may require direct approval even below a routine limit.

Can REQUEST VIP manage my email and calendar?

Access may be scoped if the operating and privacy model is confirmed. Permissions should be limited, logged, reviewed and removed when no longer needed.

Does the assistant give legal, medical or financial advice?

No. The assistant can organise appointments, files and deadlines, but qualified professionals remain responsible for advice, decisions and regulated work.

How is a task handed to another time zone?

The handover should contain status, deadline, approved option, pending decision and minimum necessary data.
