Concierge firm co-founded by queen’s nephew went on ‘ill-timed’ hiring spree before Iran war

Quintessentially, a luxury concierge service co-founded by Queen Camilla's nephew Ben Elliot, increased staff in the Middle East and Asia before wealthy individuals fled due to the US-Israel war on Iran. The company almost quadrupled its staff from 22 to 84 during its financial year. Quintessentially reported multimillion-pound losses and warned of uncertainty about its future.
