A right-half , he played competitively for Stoke , Burslem Port Vale , Philadelphia Hibernian (United States), Northampton Town , and Northern Nomads . He was the younger brother of Leon Boullemier , also an accomplished sportsman. Boullemier worked at Mintons factory and then at the Soho Pottery in Cobridge , before being recruited by C.T. Maling of Newcastle upon Tyne to take charge of their decorating department. Until 1926 he had been engaged in painting quite high-class porcelain, and he introduced a range of more glamorous designs into the mass-market Maling range, using gold printing techniques and lustred surfaces.
In 1933 he was joined at the company by his son, Lucien George. Three years later, he left to work for the New Hall Pottery Company in Staffordshire , where he produced a range called "Boumier Ware", each piece of which carried his facsimile signature
