The Butler in their Job
First of all, it is important to define the different kinds of butler. In fact, we can distinguish two types of butler.
The best known and the more popular in the public eye (partly thanks to movies and tv shows) is the traditional butler. You can recognise him/her by their formal uniform. They have received a traditional education in a butler service school.
To be a traditional butler, they must have an irreproachable character and generally would add an English touch to the household.
The traditional Butler represent the household of their principal/family whom they work for and is in charge of formal events and dinner parties.
Nowadays, we tend to see more modern butlers in the UK and in London, but what is the difference between traditional and modern butler?
Modern butlers can also be considered as house managers, they are responsible for the management of the household of their principals. Their tasks are more service-oriented and modern butlers are expected to be multi-skilled.
What doesn’t change between these two types of butlers is the prestige they must represent and they must be very good listeners to the family they work for.
