Family offices and advisers
Independent support for the gatherings you host
Family offices and their advisers are often asked to bring families, principals and trusted associates together, to exchange ideas, discuss important matters or spend time away from everyday business.
Hudson Advisory provides independent research, advice and discreet oversight for private retreats, roundtables and cultural programmes. We work alongside your existing team, not in place of it.
Independent by principle
We accept no commissions or supplier fees. Our advice is guided only by the client's interests.
Where we help
Private retreats
We help shape the purpose and format of a retreat, research destinations and properties, assess local providers and build a programme that balances serious discussion with time to relax. From an exclusive-use country house to a private estate overseas, everything is build around what the gathering is for.
Roundtables and private meetings
We identify suitable venues and coordinate hospitality, accommodation and transport, from arrival to departure. These gatherings often involve sensitive discussions and carefully chosen participants, so preparation and discretion come first.
Cultural excursions and shared experiences
Private access to historic properties, specialist collections and fine dining can give time together a focus. We research the possibilities, introduce the right specialists and arrange private access, expert-led visits or exclusive use of a venue.
For advisers hosting clients
When an advisory firm hosts its own clients, its reputation is in the room. We act as the firm's independent adviser, designing the programme with your team and overseeing delivery, so you can focus on your guests.
An extension of your team
We provide expertise or capacity where an undertaking needs it, without replacing the relationships already in place. For international gatherings, we bridge the gap between your office and an unfamiliar destination, assessing local providers and bringing the elements into one coherent programme.
Discreet by design
Hudson is founder-led, with direct involvement throughout. We work within agreed confidentiality arrangements and never use client work for publicity or social media.
