M Lhuillier

M Lhuillier Financial Services, Inc. has a rich history that dates back to 1935 when the first chain of pawnshops was established. The company's legacy was built on a foundation of quality service and commitment to its customers. Henry Lhuillier, an Honorary French Consul in the 1970s, along with his wife, Angelita Escano Jones, contributed significantly to the company's growth in various sectors including jewelry manufacturing, money lending, and candy manufacturing and distribution. The company's expansion accelerated in the 1980s with the opening of the first M Lhuillier pawn and jewelry shop in Cebu City. Since then, M Lhuillier has earned a reputation as the largest non-bank financial services network in the Philippines, with over 3,000 branches nationwide. Today, the company continues to evolve under the leadership of Michael Lhuillier, son of Michel Jones Lhuillier, who serves as the president and CEO. The company's operations have expanded to include services such as quick cash loans, domestic and international money transfer, insurances, logistics, bills payment, and micro-insurance, making it a one-stop-shop for various financial and non-financial needs. Additionally, M Lhuillier has diversified its business ventures into property development and construction, farming and food manufacturing, bottled water, wines, and gourmet products distribution, and even ventured into tourism with the opening of Cebu Safari and Adventure Park in 2017. This diverse portfolio has enabled the company to cater to a wide range of customers and continue to grow as a leading financial institution in the Philippines and beyond.
