History
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.
Since then, the M Lhuillier Group of Companies expanded to include real estate, construction, restaurants, and retail.[4]
