    Initial consultations are offered on a complimentary, no-obligation basis. If you wish to proceed, fees are transparent, agreed in advance and tailored to each project.

  • How are fees structured?

    All services are offered on a bespoke, case-by-case basis. Depending on the project, fees may be structured as a fixed project fee, retainer or success-based arrangement. Full transparency is provided before any work begins.

  • Do you work with private clients and businesses?

    Yes, I work with both private clients (including collectors, first-time buyers and family offices) and businesses, institutions, brands and founders. Each project or service is tailored to the client’s specific goals.

  • Is everything confidential?

    Absolutely. Discretion and confidentiality are fundamental to how I have always worked. All client information, discussions and transactions are handled with discretion and privacy at every stage.

  • Do you buy or sell items directly?

    Whittaker Luxury is an independent advisory and consultancy business. I do not hold stock or sell items directly, but I can advise on and facilitate sourcing, auction sales or purchases and private sales.

  • Can you source internationally?

    Yes. I work with a global network of auction houses, dealers and private collectors and can advise on both UK and international transactions.

  • What types of items do you specialise in?

    My primary focus is fine jewellery and watches, and high-end designer handbags and accessories. If a request falls outside this, I’m always happy to advise on next steps or introduce specialists where appropriate.

  • I’m not sure what service I need, help!

    Many clients come to me at an early, exploratory stage. The initial conversation is a relaxed chat, the aim is for me to learn about you and how I can help.
