With a membership at Bowes-Lyon Partnership, clients are offered complimentary sessions with relationship gurus, fitness and nutrition experts, lifestyle concierge services, and even an exclusive session with a photographer to get a lasting reminder of the results.

As well as style advice, Bowes-Lyon Partnership allows their clients to become relationship ready with the help of Move Three Sixty, a health and fitness company which is designed to support mental, physical and chemical systems within the body. Situated in St. John’s Wood, London, the facility has full gym and massage facilities and a number of person trainers available to make tailored training plans and nutritional advice. With regular assistance from the team at Move Three Sixty, there is no need to worry about being able to keep up on a hiking date through picturesque hills, and in conjunction with the fashion guidance also provided, clients will look and feel their very best just in time for summer.

Relationship guidance is also available in order to make sure that clients are also fully aware of what they want from a relationship and how to achieve it. Mental wellbeing is of the utmost importance when entering the dating scene, and professional dating service Bowes-Lyon Partnership ensures that all of their clients are ready to embark on a committed and healthy relationship.

Summer is the perfect time to get serious about dating prospects, purely for the multitude of fun activities it presents for potential dates. What better way to get to know someone than zooming through the rolling countryside for the afternoon on a hired tandem bicycle, or taking a champagne picnic to one of the UK’s many summer cinema screens which pop up in parks and communal areas? Joining the exclusive dating agency now means those looking for a meaningful and lasting relationship can enjoy a few months of exciting and fun-filled dates, no matter what their hobbies and interests are.

Bowes-Lyon Partnership sets itself apart from other dating agencies in that it matches its clients individually, based on personality traits and the values of both parties. This not only increases the chances of finding a soulmate through the professional dating agency, it also reduces the risk of spending one of the UK’s rare summer’s days in bad company. Who wouldn’t want to spend a dusky summer evening enjoying a glass of wine on a terrace with an accomplished individual who has been hand-picked, using a combination of matchmaking instinct and the innovative Bowes-Lyon Index?

Once a match has been found, there is scope to enjoy a plethora of activities in the summer months. Take a trip to a quaint seaside town with a traditional promenade, fish and chips on the pier and a boutique hotel overlooking the coast. Enjoy all the wonders of the city in summer; London’s abundance of green space offers the perfect backdrop for a mid-afternoon picnic or a pleasant jaunt on some ‘Boris bikes’. Cool off and take a break from the sunshine in one of Manchester’s many museums, including the Museum of Science and Industry or the northern branch of Imperial War Museum, overlooking the glittering Salford Quays. Those who like to keep fit can take advantage of the beautiful weather to get out into the countryside and try something new; hang-gliding, abseiling or gorge walking make great alternative dates, and Britain’s tremendous selection of country pubs make perfect locations to really get to know a match.

Joining the high-end dating agency now gives ample time to undergo the initial consultations, take advantage of the complimentary services, which include sessions with relationship gurus and fitness experts, before finding a perfect match and having an unforgettable summer.

Love at first sight – real or a delusion?

Delusion; there’s attraction at first sight, but loving someone is about so much more than their physical appearance.

What are you best at?

Making time for the people who matter to me; they’re important, and I want to keep them in my life!

Oh, and shoe buying…

What item can’t you live without?

My passport.

What do you value in a partner?

Someone who is capable of listening. A man who is kind and honest with similar fundamental values.

What is your top travel tip?

Make an effort to get to know some local people; they can give you so much insight into the place that you are visiting and can point you in the direction of some “hidden gems”.  Dinners and outings with local families have given me some of my favourite travel memories.

What’s your favourite restaurant?

There’s a little family run-Korean restaurant down the road from where I live which always serves great quality and interesting food! I think that’s near the top of the list.

What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever been given?

Kindness costs you nothing.

The elite dating agency based in London mixes traditional match-making instinct with a bespoke, highly personalised approach. The team at the agency take their time to get to know each member personally to further understand their unique personalities and what they look for in a potential partner. Shunning traditional dating profiles and impersonal pages where members chat amongst themselves, Bowes-Lyon Partnership has found that their individualised approach to modern dating has resulted in satisfied clients who recommend the service to their loved ones.

Co-founder Natalie Bystram said, “Our members trust us to help them make what is arguably one of the most important decisions in life so we’re delighted that more and more of them are recommending us to their friends and family members. It shows that we are making a real difference.”

The majority of members who sign up to Bowes-Lyon Partnership are high-flying individuals in elite career paths. The care and attention showed by the staff at the London dating agency is not only given to personalities and values, but lifestyles and schedules. This approach has proven itself to be highly successful in matching suitable partners and is always something which is given great consideration by the team.

Along with the personal, tailor-made approach to finding a partner, Bowes-Lyon Partnership offers all clients a wealth of complimentary services which are invaluable at the start of a new relationship. The dating agency for elite individuals understands that the dating process is not simply about showing up on the day and hoping for the best outcome; successful relationships require work. All clients are given access to experts in a variety of fields who can assist on this front, including relationship gurus, personal trainers and lifestyle and concierge services. Emotional baggage is overcome, and clients can feel entirely comfortable in their own skin before they set out to begin the nerve wracking process of dating. A new partnership with Look Right Photography also means that clients can take advantage of a complimentary photography session as part of their membership package, for a confidence boost with lasting printed memories. It is this attention to detail and understanding of the trials and tribulations of dating that has created so many happy Bowes-Lyon Partnership members eager to recommend the service to others.

The pressure to perform in the workplace has never been higher than in the current economic climate. In fact, many believe that 100% is no longer good enough. Employers are asking their workers to produce better results, work longer hours and make huge sacrifices for businesses not only to prosper but to merely survive.

As a result of the long hours that Britain’s professionals are now working, family life is suffering and single people are finding it ever more difficult to meet and form lasting relationships. Where does a divorced 43 year old go to start his love life again? Does a divorced 37 year old woman stand out in a trendy bar?

Successful, professional, single and divorced people are no longer prepared to wait for love to find them. In today’s busy world they are increasingly employing specialist introduction agencies to make sure they find love.

Sisters Hayley and Natalie Bystram are a shining beacon standing tall with their business Bowes-Lyon Partnership among London’s premier introduction agencies. Bowes-Lyon Partnership has a proven track record, with 75% of its members finding committed relationships through the agency. It prides itself on providing exceptional quality service, and have a unique ‘Relationship Ready’ team of experts in place to help members find their feet and gain confidence before embarking on a date. The team has everything a busy professional needs all in one place, from a life coach to a personal stylist and photographer.

The sisters have helped hundreds of people to start the journey of finding a new life partner and while no guarantees can be given, their success rate speaks for itself. Every potential client is interviewed by either Hayley or Natalie and each sister has developed a sixth sense and a gut feeling which is seldom wrong.

As their business becomes stronger the sisters are acutely aware that their underpinning principles of integrity, discretion and quality service must always be paramount in their thinking and future plans. It is these “old fashioned values” that ensure quality service and repay the trust their clients have shown by allowing them to find their perfect life partner.

Natalie Bystram said “Our members trust us to help them make what is arguably one of the most important decisions in life, so we don’t work with a one size fits all approach. Each member is treated as an individual which means we have the best chance of success.”

Hayley Bystram said, “We provide a bespoke membership tailored to the individual and we only take on clients where we truly feel confident that we can guarantee a high level of success.”

Peter joined the agency in August after reading about Bowes-Lyon Partnership in Belgravia magazine. He initially met Hayley at the office in Belgravia, liked her a lot and signed up the next day.

Peter has been divorced since 1994. Initially Hayley came up with two ladies who she thought Peter would get along well with. Both happened to be abroad at the time so two days later, Hayley emailed Peter again to introduce him to another lady who lives in Scotland. She was coming down to London the following week and was interested in meeting him. The two met up and hit it off straight away, she’s been to London, he’s been up to Scotland and they’ve even been to Paris for lunch.

As Peter said “You don’t expect it straight out the box. She’s the first person I’ve met since joining the agency but I’ve put my membership on hold. I think you have to be ready to meet someone. You get something out of it. I didn’t expect to meet anyone and not for it to go as far as it has. It’s relatively early days but we’re having a nice time and we’ll see where it goes.

“I would definitely recommend Bowes-Lyon Partnership. I like them because I like Hayley. I like her character and her personal approach. The thing about Bowes-Lyon is that you have someone that’s taken the time to get to know you, that’s sifting through profiles for you. You also know that anyone who has taken the time to join an introduction agency has also got to be serious about finding someone”.

“Life is short, live it. Love is rare, grab it. Anger is bad, dump it. Fear is awful, face it. Memories are sweet, cherish it.”
