Darren Smith will report to operations director, Sarah Talbot, and be responsible for the day to day operational capability of the business and the implementation of the rollout of new technology within the business.

Commenting on his new role, he said: “This is both an exciting challenge and opportunity for me. The passion from the directors about their business and the industry made it a simple choice. Loanoptions.co.uk is investing heavily in its people, processes and technology in order to make it the only secured loans packager intermediaries should choose.”
Sarah Talbot, operations director at Loanoptions.co.uk, commented: “In the three years since Loanoptions.co.uk was formed, it has grown into a national business employing over 100 people. Maintaining and exceeding the service expectations of our introducers has always been the first priority and with our ongoing investment in market leading technology and personnel, it was vital that we strengthened our management team. Darren has a great pedigree and his experience will be a valuable asset as Loanoptions.co.uk develops its business further in the years to come.”
Andy Moody, managing director added: “Darren’s appointment is further proof that Loanoptions.co.uk is looking beyond the industry’s current difficulties. We are committed to strengthening our position as the premier secured loans packager in the UK. We are investing heavily for the future and Darren’s involvement is a great addition to our ability to grow our business for the future.”
