“We help the music industry by using our experience to help them in their day to day lives,” says Artist Relations founder Stephen Lockyer.
The London-based company has been supporting star names in music, film and sport for more than two decades, offering a range of services encompassing personal assistance and home management.
“Artists need people who ultimately know what they’re doing, people who have their interests at heart and people who can deliver,” Lockyer says, summing up his mission statement. “The clients we have now have been with us for years and years.”
The company works with clients who live in or are visiting the UK, which makes it an ideal fit for touring musicians during busy promo campaigns. Artist Relations offers a flexible range of personal assistance staff and home management, for anything from a few hours a week to a full-time basis. Its staff are well-versed in working with high profile individuals across the entertainment sector. Recent years have also seen the firm expand its client base to include private families and successful entrepreneurs.

Lockyer cites a recent case study to illustrate what Artist Relations can do.
“The last time we had an artist here for several weeks on tour and they hadn’t been to London for six years,” he explains. “They didn’t know what to do or where to go. In the weeks before they arrived, we were able to show their management where they should go and what they should do, and then when they were here they had our support to make sure that artist had a perfect stay.”
“What’s really important,” he adds, “is that we listen to what is needed. Every single person we work with is different. So, we mould everything to that person and what it is that they need.”
Artist Relations can provide skilled professional staff across a range of areas, all of which is aimed at offering a bespoke, convenient lifestyle service. The company can source personnel for a special event and part-time or long-term support for clients’ households, including housekeepers, personal assistants, chefs, drivers and house managers.
Its comprehensive personal assistant services – delivered without the need for costly agency fees – include handling all private and household administrative matters, managing hotel and travel arrangements, securing restaurant and entertainment reservations and overseeing personal ground transportation and security requirements.
We give honest and helpful advice, something that a lot of people don’t do

“We’re well connected with a variety of businesses to make sure our clients aren’t overcharged, and in some cases we will get clients discounts with brands we work with,” adds Lockyer. “There’s also no real need to pay recruiters large fees to find help. We give honest and helpful advice, something that a lot of people don’t do.”
Artist Relations can also help with house moves, furniture removals or purchases, hotel, flight and other travel bookings, vehicle management, recruitment and overseeing of staff, house sitting and assistance with pets, the shipment of goods to other locations and diary management.
Further benefits include, high-level security personnel, private jet charters, chauffeur-driven transport, exclusive venues and private events.
“We are unique,” sums up Lockyer. “We have over 20 years of experience working with the music, film and sports industries. I don’t believe there is any other company offering the type of service we do.”
