“This has coincided with a company rebrand which has brought greater clarity to our three sub-divisions—Leach Impact which creates wow factor environments for brands, retailers and trade shows; Leach Inspire which brings stories to life in global museums, heritage sites and visitor attractions; and Leach Studio which provides creative interpretation plus 3D and graphic design for UK heritage projects.

“But you don’t enjoy 125 years in business without being progressive. So, as we look ahead to the next 12 months, we’re projecting 15 percent further organic growth, expansion of our 30,000sqft headquarters, the creation of at least nine more jobs, several significant product launches and an additional £250,000 product development investment.”
