Our History


Our heritage

Truly local, proudly Nordic

When Glasford International Estonia was founded by Jaakko Lehto & his son Ilkka Lehto in 2005, Jaakko was already a well know entrepreneur in the field of executive search in Helsinki, Finland, having built his own agency from scratch in 1978 to success. Fast forward to 2014 and a need to surrender to demand led to the birth of Brightway. Founded by Ilkka Lehto, Brightway works closely together with our sister company Glasford.

Our history

Brightway is founded

A surrender to demand

Instead of turning down requests for staffing and consultant assignments not fit for an executive search company, Brightway was founded in 2014 to be able to continue providing a service built on Nordic ethics and values and carry over the long history of high quality service from the executive roots to staffing.
