Founded in the autumn of 2003, the Association of Celebrity Assistants UK is a non-profit organisation created and used by vetted assistants in the support industry working for high profile individuals from the world of entertainment as well as music, sport, fashion, politics, art and more. 
We offer members a confidential environment in which to meet and network, exchange ideas, share information and help each other, give advice, post jobs and also work with high profile talent directly on exclusive recruitment projects. We also host exclusive events, online workshops and partner with incredible global brands. 
The ACA is the UK’s most established network of its kind, and we are committed to growing in keeping with our Principal’s ever changing needs. Whether this be getting exclusive access to brand new hotels, hosting tech workshops with revolutionary industries or just offering a supporting pillar when you’re up against it, the association continues to grow as a supportive community for its members.
