On Trial: Shopping concierge service
Post holiday blues can be tough enough without the sight of an empty fridge to add to your woes. But not this year. Taking pre-emptive action, we called in a lifestyle manager who will run domestic errands on your behalf, including shopping for groceries or waiting in for and unpacking online supermarket deliveries. Andrea Osborne runs cushion the impact, a concierge company based in Angel. After an initial chat on the phone we gave her the brief – a mixture of comfort foods and health snacks waiting for us on out jet-lagged return. We sent her our keys and a shopping list along with instructions about the foibles about of our front door. Fast forward a week, we return home and there it is: a packed fridge that fills us with a smug glow. cushion the impact charges £40 or you can buy blocks of time (such as 5 hours for £160) that are valid for up to a year.
