Adele Blair, founded Blair Lifestyle Management in July 2006. Adele spent 20 years working in the corporate world in London, Sydney and Brisbane as a Personal Assistant, a Recruitment Consultant and most recently as a National Administration Manager of an International Recruitment Agency.
Throughout her corporate career, Adele has had to tackle a wide range of “outside the box” tasks for her employer whilst continuing to manage her “normal job”. This prompted Adele to create Blair Lifestyle Management; an opportunity to utilise her amazing organisational and management skills whilst providing an essential service where everyone can have an extra pair of hands when they need them.

Community
Through our work we are proud to support our community.
For each new Lifestyle Management client we provide a loan, through Kiva, to women in developing countries who are trying to start their own business which will, in turn, support their community.
Through our Professional Organising services we are often asked to donate unwanted clothing and household items. We work closely with local charities with a strong focus on women, so that the items are given directly to those most in need.
To reduce our carbon footprint, in the transit of goods for Green Apple Organising, we donate 10c for every item sold to Trees for the Future. Trees for the Future has been helping communities around the world plant trees. Through seed distribution, agroforestry training, and country programs, they have empowered rural groups to restore tree cover to their lands.
