Ben Durkin appointed Leasing Options Chief Technology Officer

CONGRATULATIONS to Ben Durkin of Leasing Options, promoted to Chief Technology Officer (CTO), recognising nearly two decades across the company’s IT, web and systems development.

Durkin has been instrumental in building Leasing Options‘ in-house technology — from its bespoke website, CRM and workflow platform to the tools that power pricing, quotations and end-to-end sales and automated back office operations. Under his guidance, says Leasing Options, the company’s systems have become widely recognised as industry-leading, with competitors frequently expressing interest in acquiring or licensing the platform.

In his new Group CTO role, Durkin will lead the next phase of technology investment, including upgrades to core infrastructure, accelerated website development and the introduction of innovative tools designed to enhance customer experience and increase operational efficiency from enquiry through to delivery.

“I’m incredibly proud of what our team has built and achieved so far. Our focus is simple - stay relentlessly customer-focused, give customers total confidence throughout their journey, and provide our colleagues with tools that are lightning fast, intuitive, and built for scalability and efficiency — all while maintaining the highest standards of compliance in everything we do. We will continue to invest heavily in our platform and explore new technologies that keep Leasing Options ahead of the market.”
