During the 1990s Leslie was for seven years co-editor of a trade journal 'The Intelligent Home'. Over the past 20 years he had undertaken numerous and diverse commercial research projects (e.g. organising focus groups on home automation, jointly writing an 'Innovator's Handbook', looking at disability and telework, conducting research for the Integer project that was developing 'green and intelligent homes', interviewing people about the take-up of cable TV and the later the early adoption and non-adoption of the internet, conducting literature reviews on social issues relating to ICTs, examining how people budget when using mobile phones and interviewing children about their particular experiences of mobile phones).

In the mid-1990s Leslie was part of the ACTs-FAIR project reviewing European telematics programmes for the EC and in the late-90s he was part the of an EC project looking at the users who were envisaged by ICT designers and the broader adoption of Design for All principles.  He helped devise and analyse a five-country survey of ICT use in Europe in the mid-90s, funded by Telecom Italia. In 2000 he participated in the EURESCOM (European trade association for telecoms) project looking at European attitudes to ICTs and was subsequently involved in research for UMTS Forum (Mobile phone trade association). At the same time he was on the steering committee of and wrote a chapter for the EC funded e-Living project. More recently he was one of the experts working for the EC, evaluating whether internet companies had met their commitments about safer internet principles.

Leslie has been a visiting researcher at TeleDenmark (Denmark), Chalmers (Sweden) and Hallym University (South Korea). Since the 1990s he has participated in the EMTEL research network European Media, Technology and Everyday Life Network, (1994-7) and three European COST Actions: COST248 (The Future Telecommunications User, 1992-7), COST269 (User Aspects of ICTs, 1999-2004) and  (Participation in the Broadband Society, 2006-10).
