James Leckey: Founder & CEO of Leckey Design
Meet James Leckey…
James Leckey is the founder & CEO of Leckey: a company focused on designing life-enhancing products for physically challenged children.
After starting out small in a garden shed, the Northern Ireland-based company now employs almost 200 people.
Today, Leckey is a globally recognized pioneer in the research, design and development of pediatric postural supports that are clinically focused and based on the developmental needs of children, including their social and emotional needs.
In this week’s episode, we talk about what Jame’s humble beginnings taught him, the importance of designing products that improve the lives of the people that use them and how to balance being an inventor with being a businessman.
