The history of Leaders
Founded in 1983 by the late Neville Lee OBE, Leaders began as a single branch in Brighton. Since then, the company has become known for its first-class customer service and exceptional knowledge of the property market and local area.
Rapid expansion throughout the South of England meant Leaders quickly celebrated its 25th and 50th branch openings – and by acquiring reputable businesses up and down the country, the team at Leaders has now brought its expertise and customer service to new towns and cities across the UK.
About Leaders
Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG)
At Leaders, Environmental, Social, and Corporate Governance (ESG) are responsibilities we take very seriously. As part of the Leaders Romans Group, we want to be transparent to our clients about the way we do things as a company.
Environmental
One of the key areas that we are heavily invested in is sustainability and our impact on the environment. We're proud to say we have been carbon neutral since 2022, reaching our target 8 years early. To achieve this, we have made many changes across the business with more to come. You can find out more about our environmental work over in our Sustainability Hub.

At Leaders, we want our staff to feel like they can enjoy a long-term career. We have an extensive list of in-house training courses, and we also provide career frameworks. It’s of the utmost importance to us that equality, diversity, and inclusion are at the forefront of everyone’s minds, and we have an internal training course on this which all staff have to take. Achievements and promotions are celebrated all year round, including our quarterly awards ceremonies.
Not only do we aim to help and support each other, but also the wider community. From 2022-2024, teams across the business fundraised in different ways with a total of £36,019.96 donated to MacMillan Cancer Support.
Governance
We take the management of our customers data very seriously and protect it via robust data protection policies. We have a strong data protection team in place headed up by our own in-house Data Protection Officer.
Regulations in the property industry are ever-changing. We proactively keep on top of these, not only to ensure we can prepare but to make sure we can help our clients prepare and be compliant too.
