Building a Berkshire Business
Chloe launched Abode Staff with a simple aim: to provide a more personal, transparent and high-quality recruitment service for private households.
With over a decade of recruitment experience and a Master’s degree in Human Resources, Chloe recognised that many families and estates were looking for a more tailored approach to household recruitment.
Today, Abode Staff continues to work closely with each client, taking the time to understand their household, lifestyle and specific requirements before introducing carefully selected candidates.
As a small independent business based in Berkshire, maintaining strong relationships, delivering exceptional service and operating with complete discretion remain at the heart of everything the company does.

Everyone at Abode Staff would like to thank the Reading Chronicle for the opportunity to take part in this year’s Leading Ladies feature and for recognising the achievements of women in business across Berkshire.
