Four generations of Yorkshire steel

A family trade,
handed down

JSL Construction began with blacksmith George Leake, working iron for the farms around Ripon. The trade passed to John Stanley Leake, then to David Leake, and today David runs the business alongside his son Mark — the fourth generation of the family to work steel in North Yorkshire.

That history is why customers still deal directly with the people making their building, and why we would rather do one job properly than three in a hurry.
