Laurine Mallet and Morgan Richez founded Morgan & Mallet in 2015. Both had worked in London’s finest homes, Laurine as a nanny and Morgan as an executive butler.

Their experience showed them what was wrong with staffing agencies. Families were international, but agencies weren’t. Clients wanted trusted advice, but agencies only offered quick placements.

Nine years later, we place over 1,200 staff members annually with 96% staying successfully. Our offices span Paris, London, Dubai, New York, Los Angeles and Miami.
