His experience in the motor industry began in 1914, with an apprenticeship in the Motor Transport Department of the Hammersmith Distillery. He left during WW1 to join the Royal Flying Corps in 1917, and in 1939 he joined the Royal Army Service Corps as a motor instructor and organiser. On demobilisation in 1945 he started working on bicycles as motor cars were scarce and petrol was rationed. It was after WW2 in 1947, when Leonard together with a friend, managed to secure a space for a stall on St. Alban's Saturday market.
