"In 2005 we first identified the connection between the island's middleman-culture and the steady decline in expert freelancer services. We immediately ceased all collaborations with island-based middlemen to protect our ability to maintain a team of industry experts - and earn professional rates of pay. With no financial dependence on Ibiza's concierge industry, we are free to speak openly about the negative effects they have on the islands professional workforce, local businesses, and the islands residents"
