An Introduction
HOW OUR JOURNEY STARTED
The Excellence Group was born out of seeing potential in businesses operating in the high-end residential sector. In 2012, the group’s Managing Director, Richard Lurie, saw that Eurocasa, a business that imports Italian kitchens, wardrobes and living compositions, had the potential for growth. From this point, Richard saw a unique opportunity to bring like-minded businesses together under one roof. This is where we saw The Excellence Group emerge in 2018.
