ABOUT US
Samantha Thomas
Founder
After completing a degree at The University of Edinburgh, I embarked on a career in Talent Management and TV Production, working with high-profile individuals, with the utmost discretion. I found my efficiency, organisational skills and desire to get things ‘done’, eventually led me to the path of an Executive Assistant, where I wore many hats and became adept at handling anything that was thrown at me. I went on to work at a hedge fund in Mayfair and after having children of my own, became freelance, taking on a number of private, HNW and high-profile clients. Within my various roles, spanning across nearly two decades, I have not only organised the highly confidential lives of many individuals, but have also continued to recruit both household and office staff for them. Now my passion and skills have come to fruition with the founding of Astrid & Flo. Myself and the team thoroughly enjoy meeting a broad spectrum of wonderful clients, Personal Assistants and household staff, and thrive on being able to achieve the perfect match.
