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.

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’d like to extend a big thank you to Callum Cave at Leaders for his outstanding support throughout our move. Callum made what can often be a stressful experience feel smooth and manageable. He kept in regular contact at every stage, ensuring we were always informed and reassured. We truly appreciated his dedication and clear communication. Thank you again for all your help!
We used leaders for the first time to sell our house, Llewellen was absolutely amazing very helpful kind and always kept us up to date with everything would defiantly use them again! Also wanted to mention Yvonne the move manager was incredible we wouldn’t of moved quicker without her, always calling me on a regular basis a few times a week to give us an update on the progress and very helpful. Thank you all again so much 💓
I haven’t known the team at Leaders for long, Miles, Murray, Ben and James, but I feel as though I have. From the very start of my walking into their offices behind Waitrose, they made me feel at ease; friendly and yet professional. They offered much needed advice (I’m new to this business) and help at every turn, prompt replies to emails, telephone messages and reminders for me to get things in order. In short, through their excellent guidance, I was able to successfully meet my goals in a timely manner and I am continually grateful for their management and care. I live abroad and I feel 100% they are taking care of my house and my tenants. I am sincerely grateful to them all and enjoy the contact and communication which reminds me so much of Eastbourne and the UK at large. I look forward to seeing them again in the future and am so glad I fell into their safe hands. I highly recommend Leaders for their professional manner and friendly touch. A great team indeed, it’s just so bad none of them are Liverpool supporters. But you can’t have everything. 😅
Eloise has been amazing throughout the whole process. Super helpful, friendly, and always quick to respond. Made everything so easy and stress-free. I am so happy dealing the property.
Expensive. otherwise great
Sam, Simon and the rest of the team have been very helpful and easy to communicate with throughout the rental process
