Gator Concierge >> In The News
 Free Your Time…and the good life will follow. Hand over your lengthy to-do list to Gator Concierge.
YOU CAN ADMIT IT. You’ve had the thought before: It would be great to have my own personal assistant or a concierge like they have at those chi-chi hotels. Unfortunately, the thought is fleeting. No time to daydream when you’re en route to the cleaners, late for your pet’s vet appointment and — oops — was today your sister’s birthday?
In this multi-tasking, mile-a-minute, Martha Stewart-wannabe world, there are times when everyone needs help to get it all done. The good news is Gator Concierge is here to do just that.
“People today are busy, stressed and overextended,” said Leanne Lawrence, president and founder of Gator Concierge. Her company steps in to help with day-to-day things you wish you had time for but don’t, like getting an oil change and hiring a sitter or waiting for the cable guy and planning your parents’ anniversary.
Sensing a need in Gainesville for her service, Lawrence started the company along with a group of managing partners, each with successful backgrounds in fields ranging from eco-tourism to finance. Together, they share a common passion for empowering not only their clients but also their employees.
“We help clients by allowing them to spend time with family and to do what they love doing,” Lawrence said. “We also want to provide work opportunities to those that maybe aren’t 40-hour-aweek workers — veterans, stay-at-home moms, students, the semi-retired.”
Lawrence’s passion for her job is contagious, and she has message for Gainesville residents:
“Our mantra is do what you can and let us do what you can’t,” she said. “You don’t have to do it all. Essentially, we give you the ability to free up some time. Some people may see hiring us as a luxury, but, in a sense, it’s a necessity. If hiring Gator Concierge allows you to make it to your kid’s soccer game, well, how great is that?”
The services offered run the gamut. Don’t have the time to do the dirty work of scouting out a reliable roofer or deft designer?
“We think of ourselves as the living, breathing Yellow Pages,” Lawrence said. Gator Concierge can point you in the right direction and even get it done.
With pricing that allows for a la carte service or package options based on how many hours a month you think you could use assistance, Gator Concierge is affordable and customizable. Just complete a client profile and a consultant will work with you to determine your needs. Interested vendors should also contact Gator Concierge at l2blue@bellsouth.net.
Simply put, it makes sense to hire Gator Concierge for yourself or someone else. A membership package would be perfect this holiday season for a new mom, a friend starting a new job or just about anyone. Gift certificates are available. And how nice to be able to give the gift of time!
