Stephanie Bullier-Lambert, General Director of Bullier, a French company producing make-up and fine art brushes under the trademark Leonard, was one of nine people invited by French television channel TF1 to interview Nicolas Sarkozy during a special TV programme, which was broadcasted on the 10th of February.

Through her participation in this program, Stephanie Lambert Bullier was determined to raise her concerns about the competitiveness of French SMEs, including against Asia.

While she was a little disappointed at this level because the unfolding of the program permitted her to ask only one single question to the French President, the business leader however seized the opportunity to defend the know-how of her family business in front of the President and his wife. After the show, she offered a range of makeup brushes to Carla Bruni-Sarkozy.

The employees of our company are proud to know that their production will be used by Carla Bruni,” Stephanie Bullier Lambert told the Télégramme.

Based in Saint-Brieuc in northern Brittany, Bullier achieves about 2.5 million euros in sales annually and employs 32 people. Specializing in private label manufacturing, the company launched its own range of cosmetic brushes last year, under the brand My Leonard.
