“ The business was founded by my grandad, Charles Leonard Snr, who started out dismantling commercial vehicles and selling the parts, before moving onto selling the trucks themselves,” begins Lee Leonard.“ In the mid-to-late 1980s, he then went into selling construction and plant equipment. Today, my two uncles, Charlie and Michael, own and run the business, with myself and two of my cousins, Joe and Max Leonard, working alongside. Our Sales Manager, Tim Rice, who has been with us since 2003, is an extension of the family and was instrumental in helping us receive the Sumitomo dealership along with myself and Michael. Organisationally, Charlie and Joe head up commercial vehicle sales, while Michael, Tim, Max, Dan, and I look after plant sales. It’ s a real family business and everyone pulls together as one to help each other out.”
