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.

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.

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.

Thank you for the feedback
I had a great experience working with Ella! She was quick to respond and very attentive. Her communication was clear and timely, highly recommend :)
Great communication, especially Aaron, very clear and knowledgeable
We moved in to the property at the end of October and was assigned Ffion Whittlesea as our property Manager. I feel Ffion has gone above and beyond for us. We have had some challenging situations but Ffion has dealt with every one head on and has been extremely fare. I feel she’s very professional and just seems to work round the clock. Ffion’s a real people person, and I really would recommend her to anyone.
5- Star Service We've had a fantastic experience renting through leaders the past two years. Our property manager, Larissa Hall is always responsive, professional and ensures that all concerns and maintenance needs are addressed and handled promptly. We cannot recommend her highly enough and we could'nt be more satistied with the service. I highyly recommend Leaders to any prospective tenant. You wont be dissapointed.
I had the pleasure of working with Alex during my recent property rental process, and I couldn’t be more satisfied. Alex was professional, approachable, and incredibly efficient throughout. He kept me informed at every stage, answered all my questions promptly, and went above and beyond to ensure a smooth and stress-free experience.
