Not only is Options a truly global company, but today the majority of our customers run truly global operations. Although “HQ” may be in the City of London or New York they have staff located in key centres all around the world. They also need to facilitate working from home, in some cases from the beach, and we even have a few customers who work from “castles” (literally) located high in the Alps!
