New Toronto-based Concierge Company Powers Canada’s Powerful, Demanding and Distinguished Executive Recruitment, Tickets to Sold-out Events and More
July 28, 2005 (PRLEAP.COM) Lifestyle News
A new and targeted luxury lifestyle management company for Canadian corporate executives, business and leisure travelers made its debut this month, decisively carving an exclusive niche in the high-stakes world of Fortune 500 companies and the elite echelons of high society.Toronto-based Executive Lifestyle Management (ELM) is a breed apart in the facilitation and accommodation of lifestyle management requests on a big level. The Company, headed by Co-Presidents Elizabeth Kotcher and Esther Levy, tackles the virtually impossible when it comes to full corporate and personal travel arrangements, last-minute recruitment replacements, shopping, entertainment, vacation home rental, and a vast array of daily tasks and future planning. ELM’s services are available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
In the multi-million dollar global “concierge” industry, Executive Lifestyle Management (ELM) represents a new breed of creative professional with the unusual, unique and hard to find resources and expertise to meet the demands of a discerning and distinguished clientele. “ELM isn’t the company to call for a run to the dry cleaner,” say Kotcher and Levy. “It’s the company to call if you want the name of the best dry cleaner in suburban Tokyo or the services of a same-day dry cleaner in Toronto or even a suede dry cleaning specialist in London. We have the depth of luxury resources that allows ELM to fulfill every client request.”
Between them, the accomplished and internationally connected Kotcher and Levy speak seven languages, including French, Spanish, Italian, Russian and Hebrew and, with their European backgrounds, have assumed the charm and discretion of the oblige noblesse that is an absolute prerequisite in catering to the rich and famous.

Available around the clock to service travel requests for its clients anywhere in the world, ELM has honed its skills against the backdrop of big business and is one of the few lifestyle management services that can facilitate any personal or corporate request within minutes or days. “We know the steps and pace of high-powered business professionals who need assistance in balancing their corporate, family and social lives,” say Kotcher and Levy. “Our clients have demanding and rigorous schedules. They work hard and play hard.”
Fast becoming Canada’s exclusive club for the distinguished and powerful, ELM offers a wide variety of general and tailor-made luxury travel, entertainment, corporate business and personal services.
With a pool of Canadian, U.S. and international luxury lifestyle experts and professionals, ELM will facilitate such arrangements as interior design, home renovation, personal chefs, dinner parties, security personnel and bodyguards, in-home fitness trainers, landscaping, photographers, babysitters, movers and much more.
ELM’s travel services are capable of customizing, arranging and managing all travel itineraries. In addition to arranging airline, boat, train, limousine and hotel accommodation, ELM is also a specialist in arranging travel to exotic, remote and adventure destinations, yacht and private jet rentals and charters and on-site dinner, concert and theatre bookings.
The company’s entertainment services are among the most extensive of any concierge operator and range from event and celebration planning to live musical entertainment, five-star restaurant reservations, baby and wedding showers, gift ideas and all forms of in-home catering.
ELM’s corporate services are a valuable and impressive resource for any business, providing a full complement of full and part time employee and management recruitment searches and placements, as well as company gifting, party, conference, meeting and convention arrangements and catering.
A long-standing service in every major European city, the concierge business is a new and growing trend in the U.S. and Canada. In the last five years, it is estimated the number of lifestyle management companies has more than doubled in North America and ELM is in pace with the trend as one of Canada’s first luxury-only concierge companies. Say Kotcher and Levy: “We recognized an important need for a full-service Canadian luxury lifestyle management service exclusively devoted to arranging and customizing business and social activities and agendas for executives and their families.”
As part of its market introduction, ELM is offering clients a Trial or Elite Membership that includes exclusive access to bonus services and resources.
