Leyton is a consulting firm that helps companies improve their financial, social and environmental performance, notably by tapping public support schemes for research and innovation such as the research tax credit. Its French arm is headquartered in Issy-les-Moulineaux and relies on a network of regional offices; the group operates in 17 countries and had about 3,000 employees in early 2025.
The company moved into sailing sponsorship in 2018, across several classes: Class40, Figaro, Ocean Fifty and IMOCA. It teamed up in particular with British skipper Sam Goodchild in the Leyton Sailing Team, which took part in the Route du Rhum, the Transat Jacques Vabre and the Pro Sailing Tour, the team being reigning champion in 2021.
In 2023 Leyton helped create the collective "We Sail for People and Planet" with For People and TR Racing. In 2025 the group became an official partner of K-Challenge, the French SailGP team led by Quentin Delapierre.
