About Didier JULIEN

Didier Julien is currently a key figure in the governance of Mr.Bricolage SA, having been appointed Chairman of the Board of Directors on July 8, 2025. He had previously served as Vice-Chairman of the Board and had also been elected Chairman of ANPF, the organization representing the group’s independent member-entrepreneurs. His appointment reflects continuity in leadership and the central role played by entrepreneur-operators within Mr.Bricolage’s governance model, which is built on local proximity, network cohesion and the independence of its affiliated stores. An experienced entrepreneur within the Mr.Bricolage ecosystem for more than fourteen years, Didier Julien has built a business group comprising around forty companies and currently manages 15 Mr.Bricolage stores. These include locations in Avranches, Querqueville, Touques, Pont-l’Évêque, Bruz, Bédée, Cancale, and several Paris stores. This multi-site footprint gives him a practical, ground-level understanding of retail operations, customer expectations, and the performance drivers of an independent store network. His background reflects hands-on expertise in store operations, commercial development and banner management, rather than a purely financial or corporate career path. Beyond retail operations, Didier Julien has also developed a role in business representation and institutional governance. He has been a member of MEDEF for more than ten years and serves on the labor court in Lisieux, underscoring his interest in social dialogue, business responsibilities and the wider economic environment. Within Mr.Bricolage, he has been closely involved in the governance transition led alongside the Board over the past 18 months, supporting the group’s recovery and strategic momentum. His profile combines entrepreneurial credibility, network experience and collective leadership skills, making him well positioned to oversee a listed company that relies on the alignment of independent entrepreneurs and a strong brand platform.
