About Leslie Industries, Inc.
Harold Leslie, a pioneer in the self storage industry, has been involved for over 34 years.

For the past three decades, Harold has been the President of Leslie Industries, Inc., a design, engineering, and manufacturing firm. Their first self storage project was designed and built in 1978. Since the company's inception, over 52 million square feet of self storage projects have been completed under Harold's leadership. He remains actively involved in every building project the company undertakes.
Harold's influence extends beyond the United States. He served as Chairman of Leslie Storage Ltd. in Daventry, England, a joint venture with Ayshire Metal Products, PLC, Irvine Scotland, one of the largest suppliers of cold roll steel products in Europe. The group was also involved in designing and building self storage projects using cold formed steel construction.

He has been an editorial advisor for the two primary industry publications and served on the board of MiniCo., a supplier of insurance, a publisher, and a provider of products to the self storage industry.
