A Modern Matchmaker with Old Fashioned Values
The Team at Bowes-Lyon Partnership
Surrey Magazine has profiled Bowes-Lyon Partnership in a feature titled “A Modern Matchmaker with Old-Fashioned Values”, highlighting the agency as one of the UK’s leading personal matchmaking services, with offices in Shere, Surrey and Pall Mall, London.
The article explains how founder Hayley Bystram created Bowes-Lyon Partnership after her own experience of online dating left her frustrated and unseen. Determined to build something more genuine, she set up what she calls “a modern dating agency with old-fashioned values,” focused on quality, not volume.
Surrey Magazine emphasises that members typically range from their early thirties to their eighties. Many are newly divorced, widowed, or returning to dating after years focused on careers, travel and family. They are successful, confident professionals who value privacy and want to share the next chapter of life with the right partner, rather than sift through endless online profiles.
The piece underlines that Bowes-Lyon Partnership removes technology and algorithms from dating. There is no searchable database or public profile; every member is met in person and each introduction is hand-selected by Hayley and her small team. They take time to understand every client’s values, lifestyle, relationship history and future goals, and offer support and feedback after each introduction.
Surrey Magazine notes an impressive 72% success rate and the fact that over 80% of new members come via personal recommendation, reflecting the agency’s reputation for discretion, integrity and lasting relationships. For readers who want to find love with intention, the article presents Bowes-Lyon Partnership as a refreshingly elegant, human alternative to app-based dating.
