Call on the concierge at Cliveden
Life is a whole lot easier for residents at Cliveden Village in Taplow, Buckinghamshire, thanks to Concierge and Estate Manager, Pawel Chamski. Always on hand to deal with deliveries, help organise social events and travel arrangements, he also provides an overall security role to ensure peace of mind, especially when purchasers are away on holiday or if they live abroad for part of the year.
Situated within the grounds of the National Trust’s Cliveden Estate, this luxury development of contemporary houses and apartments by Countryside Properties has been designed exclusively for the over 55’s. The concierge service is available six days a week to oversee day-to-day life within the development. Dealing with everything from communal landscape maintenance to refuse collection and recycling, the concierge is also available to accept home deliveries, provide a constant presence and keep an eye on things during the week. CCTV links the concierge office to the secure underground apartment car park.
Pawel comments: “About 90% of the residents at Cliveden Village use the concierge services on a regular basis, especially some of the people who travel or live abroad for some of the year. As a key holder I can accept parcels and either hold or deliver them to the property. People also use the service to ensure that their properties are safe while they’re away and for things that simply make their life easier and give them peace of mind. I also undertake general estate management duties such as ensuring the communal areas are well maintained, as well as providing a general security role.”
Originally from Poland where he served as a military policeman, Pawel has lived in the UK for over 10 years. He lives nearby in Slough with his girlfriend Agata and their 8 month old daughter Lana. He has been the Estate Manager at Cliveden Village for over a year.
