About us
Yorkshire Bridge was proudly founded in 2014 by Paul Tulip and Lehia Johnston, who first met while working in the search industry. From the beginning, they set out to build an executive search firm that combined rigour with relationships. Lehia brought a sharp eye for research and a meticulous attention to detail, ensuring every search was grounded in insight and thorough preparation. Paul contributed a natural ability to connect leaders with organisations, building trust and long-lasting partnerships. Together, they created a business that blends analytical depth with human connection. A bridge between opportunity and talent.
Yorkshire Bridge has evolved over the past 11 years to become an established Executive Search and Recruitment firm with a strong reputation for partnering with clients to drive performance and growth. Following the appointment of Mathew Newman in 2024, Yorkshire Bridge now has a combined 50+ years of expertise in senior level appointments, supported by a strong track record of delivering top-tier talent across multiple industries and job functions.
We partner with a broad range of organisations, from high-growth start-ups to global enterprises, helping them secure the right leaders to drive success.
