Derby IT professionals providing expert services and support in the heart of Derby.
L.E.A.D. IT Services was built on a simple but powerful belief:
technology should enable people – not hold them back.
Founded in Derby, our journey began with a passion for supporting schools and creating opportunities for young people. That same passion still drives us today.
“Technology should enable people – not hold them back.”
Our Managing Director, Lee Jepson, started his own career at just 16, in his home city – and that experience shaped a company culture rooted in opportunity, growth and giving back.
Today, we are based in Pride Park, Derby and support over 250 schools, Multi-Academy Trusts and businesses across the UK – but we’ve never lost sight of where we started.
We’re proud to be a social enterprise, reinvesting profits into:
Supporting young people into employment
