We’re delighted to share that we’ve promoted Ben Durkin, to Group Chief Technology Officer (CTO) here at Leasing Options.
For almost 20 years, Ben has been at the heart of how we use technology to make leasing a car as simple and stress-free as possible.
Over the years, Ben and our team have built our in-house tech from the ground up — including our bespoke website, CRM and workflow platform, as well as the systems that power our pricing, quotations, end-to-end sales journey and automated back-office operations. Because of that work, our platform is widely regarded as industry-leading, and we’re often approached by competitors who are interested in buying or licensing what we’ve built.
As Group CTO, Ben will now lead the next phase of our technology investment, which will see us upgrading our core infrastructure, accelerating website development, introducing new tools that enhance the customer experience from first enquiry through to delivery, and driving even greater efficiency and automation across our operations.
Speaking about Ben’s success, Nigel summed it up perfectly: “Ben has been central to our growth story for almost 20 years, and his promotion to Group CTO is both well-deserved and pivotal to our next chapter. As we navigate the exciting opportunities and challenges that come with embracing new technologies, Ben’s leadership will be instrumental in ensuring we maintain our customer focus and competitive edge while expanding into new product areas."
Ben added: “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.”
We’re excited about what this next chapter means for our customers, our partners and our people — and we’re proud to see Ben stepping into this new role to help drive our future growth.
