Enterprise and Innovation
Lisburn Enterprise Organisation (LEO) was established in 1990 with the main objective of promoting an entrepreneurial culture, supporting business start-up and providing the mechanisms needed to encourage existing businesses to grow.
LEO is an independent, not for profit organisation offering support in the form of guidance and advice, premises, conference facilities, administrative support and virtual office services.
LEO’s focus is not only on business creation but also business development at both a strategic and operational level.
The Organisation benefits from a dedicated Board of Directors representing public and private sector interests. This voluntary Board has overseen the effective running of LEO since its inception.
Partnership is also a key priority of the Organisation and strong working relationships exist with Lisburn & Castlereagh City Council, South Eastern Regional College, Enterprise Northern Ireland, Princes Trust and Invest NI to name a few.
