Our Story

Leading Edge Engineering Solutions (LEES) is the result of years of experience and unrelenting passion by founder Blake Edwards. Having contributed various roles in a long list of modern tech startups, Blake’s career so far as a qualified Aerospace Engineer provides the ideal perspective for LEES to provide creative solutions to a wide range of challenges through modern agile engineering practices.

Armed with this experience, LEES was formally founded in 2020 in order to bring together and refine the engineering development that Blake was performing for a range of clients and their AgTech projects. Situated in regional Victoria, LEES benefits from its location on a spacious rural property, allowing the company to leverage a wide range of on-site machinery and expansive testing grounds, providing an ideal environment for the development and refinement of innovative products.

LEES is proud to be playing a major part in the continued growth of successful projects developed here for Australian universities, while also offering a wide range of our own products and services that aim to implement the best of new and emerging technologies.
