We create technology to transform businesses

Get to know us
Zenitech was founded on the principle that delivering the right technology for a business can be done to exceptionally high standards, at a fast pace, without costing the earth. We don’t just deliver a product to your brief. We start by analysing what outcome you want to achieve, and we create the technology to deliver it.
We work in partnership with our clients, treating your business as we would our own. If there is a better, more cost effective and faster way to hit your goals, we’ll find it.
That’s why our clients come back to us again and again and our Net Promoter Score is 77.3 as opposed to the industry average of 35 for other technology companies.
Our team of brilliant designers, engineers, analysts and project managers are responsible for the technology that powers some of the most exciting challenger brands as well as more established enterprises.
Headquartered in the UK, we’re ready to partner with you to transform your business.

Meet our founders
Our founders, Edward Batrouni and Christopher Lacy-Hulbert, have first-hand experience in building transformational technology for brands such as Betfair and Yahoo! They wanted Zenitech to break the mould of the traditional ‘body shop’ technology providers whose business models rely on selling the maximum number of people for the longest possible contract.
They knew that what companies need is insight, advice, and amazing delivery that looks at the solution the business needs, rather than simply selling a product.


Christopher Lacy-Hulbert
Founder and Joint-CEO
Christopher’s background is technology. Before founding Zenitech, he was Director of Engineering at Yahoo! and Head of Sports Technology at Betfair.

Ruxandra Banici
Head of Delivery
When Ruxandra was in the second grade at school, she went to a computer club and became totally mesmerized. And so her passion for technology began! Roll on a couple of years and she was fascinated by computer games that were loaded from a cassette that made strange noises. Fast forward 30 years and she has worked in a range of roles across engineering and management, and is driven by curiosity and the need to understand and learn every day. Outside of work she is a book hoarder despite her dust allergy, and an avid swimmer with a penchant for buying new swim gear and accessories.Ruxandra Banici
