I have been flying for 17 years now including the last 10 years on private jets - the industry has changed considerably in that time... In my last position I recruited, trained and managed VIP crew and even wrote a book about it! It is a very interesting world to work in...
Most companies ask for a minimum of 2 years in business or first class and any experience that you have with luxury product, wines and spirits, gourmet catering knowledge, silver service etc will put you ahead of the game. A second language is a bonus. In an ideal world I would suggest either gaining some freelance experience on private jets (sometimes hard to get without experience but will be great on the CV) or starting with an airline that does a bit of VIP charter work (although you may already have done that.) There is a lot of competition for jobs now and it may take some time to actually break into the industry. Networking with people already in the industry will help a little as many jobs are by word of mouth or through your colleagues. I can think of a few operators you could work with, with a London base so it is achievable. Money these days is quite low around 2000-2500 euro plus per diem seems to be the average per month. But it is a rewarding and fascinating job once you break into the industry :-)
