Derby IT firm expands team to support growing school network

Derby-based L.E.A.D. IT Services has expanded its workforce to meet rising demand from schools and academy trusts across the UK. The company provides IT support, equipment supply, and technology installation to education and business clients.

The firm recently added three full-time staff, bringing its total number of employees to 64, with further recruitment planned. The new team members include a field technician, a digital marketing officer, and an office administrator, all entering their first full-time roles after completing apprenticeships or college.

L.E.A.D. IT supports over 200 schools nationwide, providing full IT helpdesk services and installing advanced classroom technology such as interactive Smartboards. These systems allow teachers to store lessons digitally and enable pupils to access homework via QR codes, reducing reliance on printed materials.

The expansion aligns with increasing demand for educational technology and digital infrastructure, with the company continuing to grow its services across Derby, the wider Midlands, and other regions of the UK.
