I have worked with Leap29 for 11 years which I think says a lot about why it is such a great place to work. Through work incentives I have been able to go on some truly memorable holidays. I was able to fulfil a lifelong dream to travel across Japan and was even able to take my family to Orlando, all paid for by Leap29.
