I was previously working with a bank, where I observed that many of my colleagues were single and not dating.
I was quite curious as they were not unattractive or ineligible. At the same time, I had many friends who were getting married. And they were the same age as my colleague. After further investigation, I realized that my friends who were tying the knot met their other half at school and at university. However, nobody has brought the concept over here to Asia. After some market research, Jamie my then boyfriend, now husband , decided to start Lunch Actually in April How does your company help professionals who are usually very busy people and executives to find love within a busy and hectic city in Singapore?
Our unique selling point is we do all the legwork for our clients, and all they have to do is to turn up at the restaurant and enjoy their date!
Busy professionals and executives are finding it increasingly difficult and frustrating to meet people within busy and hectic Singapore. Many a times, you are attracted to someone to only later find out that he or she is married or attached.
We meet up with our clients to find out more about their profile and preferences. When they meet up with their date, their date is already someone who fits the profile whom they are looking for and vice versa. This makes the entire process a lot more time efficient and effective. On top of that, we gather feedback after the date. This would help us know what our clients like or dislike about our match, and from there, we are able to refine the matching criteria to look for more suitable matches for them!
