Emile & his wife Augustine emigrated from there home in France to move to England in the capital London in around 1904. The company was then AEL, they focsused on small sized, decorative architectural car hood ornament fitxtures with outstanding architectural designed pieces. As the market for cars expanded in the early 20th century a knock on effect was also a greater demand for car mascots. Emile was a master sculptor. By 1929 Lejeune had established itself as the best car mascot producer globally”
Very sadly Emile left his wife Augustine at the end of the 1920's during the great stock market crash, he returned to his home in France. Augustine and her son, Louis, took over the business in 1933, they renamed it Louis Lejeune Ltd. Louis and his mother ran the company from 132 Great Portland Street, London until Louis' death at the end of the late 1960's. The business continued as a going concern in London until the late 1970's when it was purchased by the known sculptor Sir David Hughes, he relocated the business from London to Wilburton in Cambridgeshire, where it still is today. Sir David's son Timothy has been in charge of the company since the late 1990's.
