Come work for us

I took over the running of the family business at 19 with not much idea as to where I wanted it to go or how I was going to get there. All I knew was that I had to make it a success as school just hadn’t worked out for me. Nearly 30 years later I can proudly say it has surpassed anything I had in my mind back then!

There is no slowing down though, there are always new technologies to invest in to make the process of what we do more cost effective, environmentally friendly and easier to handle. 98% of all company profits go back into the business to make sure we have a viable long term proposition for everyone we employ.

I haven’t achieved this on my own though, I have a team of loyal, committed and driven individuals who have supported the growth and continue to do so. You can help too. We aim to create long, successful careers for staff at Leo Group, and if you have something to offer then get in touch and show me what you can do. I can’t promise the journey will be easy, but I can promise it will be rewarding for the right people.

Testimonials

Catherine Gregory
Senior PA

Catherine started at Leo Group Ltd in 2013 as PA to one of the directors. Within the year, she moved from that role, creating a new role as Senior PA, working for the CEO of the company.

“I enjoy my role at Leo Group Ltd as no two days are the same. The company is fast paced and ever-changing, and I enjoy learning new things every day. Working at this company is like being a part of a big family and everybody is treated as an individual – if you have a particular talent, it is recognised and nurtured so that you can grow personally, as well as professionally. I feel that in my role, I have been listened to and as a direct result, my role has grown and changed to suit the needs of the business and the CEO.”

Karol Lesiecki
General Manager

Karol started at Leo Group Ltd in 2008 as a shop floor cleaner, over the past 10 years he has worked his way up to be the General Manager at Omega Proteins one of Leo Group's rendering plants.

"I started working for Leo Group at Omega Proteins Bradford as shop floor cleaner. My first big challenge was learning the language as much as possible. Working hard enabled me to move to various roles such as Plant Operator, Senior Plant Operator and Operations Manager for our petfood division. Over the years of working at Leo Group I have improved my language skills and worked at various company sites across the country and Europe gaining valuable experiences . I am very grateful to the Company for giving me these opportunities. My advice for new recruits is : be ambitious , find passion in tasks, be honest , and be aware that you will be one of the parts creating the company… work hard and opportunities will come."

Nina Berry
Group Payroll Manager

Nina started at Leo Group Ltd in 2003 as a purchase ledger clerk, over the years Nina has moved into HR and Payroll and is now the Group Payroll Manager.

"When I started at Leo Group there were only around 10 office staff here in Halifax and around 9 HGV drivers based in Halifax, how things have changed! During the many years I have worked for Leo Group I have worked on accounts, credit control, payroll, HR and I have even done reception. You name it, I've done it, and I have thoroughly enjoyed every moment knowing that I have been part of the team helping the company grow. Relatively new staff would not be able to imagine the growth of the company from what it was to what it is now. I am looking forward to seeing the company grow and prosper even further and want to carry on being part of the team to make this happen."
