Paul Tulip – Founder
Paul has over 20 years of global Search and Consultancy experience across a broad variety of sectors. He started his career in Yorkshire followed by London.
In Paul's younger years he represented and captained Yorkshire at cricket and it was this sport that first brought him to Australia in his gap year before completing his university degree in business and sport.
After five years of executive recruitment in the UK, Paul’s next challenge saw him emigrate to Melbourne to join a leading Executive Search business.
Paul then left his role as partner there after five extremely enjoyable and successful years to start his own business Yorkshire Bridge.
Paul prides himself on his trust and integrity, which he applies to build a truly enviable and ever-growing network. It is often said that if you need to know who to know, then contact Paul!
A keen player of sport, Paul holds the position of Social Secretary of Melbourne High School Old Boys Cricket Club and is an active member of Rosanna Golf Club.
In summary, Paul is a larger-than-life character who can find the positives in any situation and, without doubt, adds value in any commercial situation.
Lehia Johnston – Head of Research
Lehia graduated from university in Melbourne with a Bachelor of Communications in Media, an industry she went on to work in for a number of years.
She then moved into a research role with a consulting and franchising business where she quickly built a reputation for quality resourcing and networking. Lehia was soon approached to head up the research division for a leading executive search and selection consultancy working both nationally and sourcing talent from overseas.
Lehia enjoys ensuring the strength of the Yorkshire Bridge’s name in the local and international markets. She is very passionate about connecting with great people across all industries, wherever they may reside.
It’s fair to say that Lehia is a lover of life, making the most out of any situation. Inspired by her Italian heritage, she is a lover of food, both dining out and cooking for friends and family.
To relax Lehia loves to read, recently completing a list suggested in the media as the top 100 books of all time.
Anyone that has the pleasure of dealing with Lehia will quickly understand why she is such an important and integral member of the Yorkshire Bridge Executive team.
