Both Steve and Alistair started their careers as apprentices in joinery then developed their skills further, working for York-based firms fitting timber and uPVC windows, doors and bespoke kitchens. Since then they have expanded their skills to include top-quality plastering, brickwork,  pointing, roofing and wider building projects such as loft conversions and extensions.

They are both experienced at managing building projects and pulling together the team of people needed to get quality results on time and on budget. They have both run successful businesses as sole traders for many years before combining their talents as Leopard Developments.
