History
MLhuillier Cebu Office
M Lhuillier Financial Services was founded in 1992 by Michel J. Lhuillier.[9] Michel was inspired by the first chain of pawnshops in 1935 in the Philippines, known as "agencias". M Lhuillier started as an offshoot of the financial services business of Michel's father, Henry, who was a formidable businessman that passed the mantle to his children.[10] A native of France, Henry Lhuillier came to the Philippines in the 1930s as a jewelry sales executive. He married Angelica Esconde Jones, Michel's mother, and later served as an Honorary French Consul in the 1970s. Henry and Angelica were both notable in the jewelry, loan, and candy industries.
Since then, the M Lhuillier Group of Companies expanded to include real estate, construction, restaurants, and retail.[4]
According to Statista, the company was awarded the title of one of the Philippines' Best 100 Employers in the financial service industry for the year 2023.[11] M Lhuillier Financial Services is a recipient of the “Captain of Industry: Financial Institution Money Remittance” award from the Cebu Chamber of Commerce and Industry.[12][13]
