Derryl Benton was a banker in central Florida when he met the late Bill Jennings, then director at Orlando International Airport, at a chamber event. Soon he was running the small business program and then concessions at the airport. Over his 30 years in the industry, Benton has seen concessions offerings industrywide changing from minimal, drab and dull to vibrant and customer-focused. Women and minorities have become more prominent on the professional side of airports and related businesses. And, even as costs to enter the business increase, he’s excited to see a new generation of diverse concessions and airport leaders continuing to push the industry forward.
