Thanks a lot Michael.
A regular join did not seem to work. But when I tried a LEFT JOIN it worked.

A cut down example of it is the following.

SELECT global_lead.id, rep_no, es.fname as sales_name, em.fname as marketing_name
FROM global_lead
LEFT JOIN global_employee es ON global_lead.rep_no = es.id
LEFT JOIN global_employee em ON global_lead.entered_by = em.id
WHERE global_lead.rep_no = 8

You need to join the employee table twice, once for each id lookup, like this:

  SELECT es.name AS sales_name, em.name AS marketing_name, leads.id
  FROM leads JOIN employee es ON leads.salesid = es.id
             JOIN employee em ON leads.marketingid = em.id;
