The Unseen Efficiency of Parking: Transforming Land into Profit
In a recent LinkedIn post, Will Hurley, CEO of The International Parking Community[i], made an insightful observation about our collective perception of parking. He noted, “We only think about parking when we are inconvenienced by it. Someone has parked where they shouldn't, there are no spaces available, or when a motorist receives a parking charge. It is important to recognise that 99.77% of parking events happen without incident.”
This remark brings to light a crucial point: while parking is a routine part of our daily lives, its efficiency and reliability are often taken for granted.
The Reliability of Car Park Management
The high success rate of parking events is no accident. It’s the result of meticulous planning, advanced technology, and a deep understanding of user behaviour. At Park & Control, we leverage cutting-edge solutions like ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition) to ensure seamless and secure parking experiences. This technology not only enhances the efficiency of our operations but also provides valuable data insights that help in continuous improvement.
Our ANPR systems are strategically placed to monitor vehicle movements, ensuring that parking spaces are used efficiently and that any unauthorised vehicles are quickly identified and managed. This reduces the likelihood of disputes and ensures a smoother parking experience for all users. Additionally, the data collected from ANPR systems allows us to analyse patterns and make informed decisions on how to further optimise the use of parking spaces.
Furthermore, our team of experienced professionals works tirelessly to maintain the high standards that our clients have come to expect. Regular maintenance checks, prompt responses to any issues, and continuous training ensure that our operations run smoothly and efficiently. This commitment to excellence is what sets Park & Control apart in the industry.
The Value of Professional Management
Professional car park management reduces common issues such as unauthorised parking and maximises the use of available spaces. Our approach is tailored to meet the unique needs of each client, ensuring that our solutions fit perfectly with their requirements. This personalised service not only enhances user satisfaction but also boosts revenue by optimising space usage.
One of the key benefits of professional management is the ability to implement dynamic pricing strategies. By adjusting parking fees based on demand, we can ensure that spaces are used more effectively and that revenue is maximised. This approach not only benefits our clients but also makes parking more affordable and accessible for users during off-peak times.
In addition, our comprehensive permit systems allow for easy management of parking spaces. Digital permits can be issued and managed through our powerful exemption portal, making it simple for authorised users to access parking while keeping unauthorised vehicles out. This system is particularly beneficial for businesses with fluctuating parking needs, such as hotels or event venues, where the number of visitors can vary significantly from day to day.
Opportunity for Landowners
For landowners, this presents a golden opportunity. Transforming underutilised land into a managed car park can be a profitable venture. With expert management from Park & Control, you can ensure your parking facility operates smoothly, providing a hassle-free experience for users while generating a steady revenue stream. We pride ourselves on our agile, non-disruptive services that are designed to maximise your returns and enhance the value of your property.
Investing in a professionally managed car park can significantly increase the value of your property.

Potential tenants or buyers will appreciate the convenience and security of a well-managed parking facility, making your property more attractive in the market.
Moreover, turning your land into a parking facility can be a sustainable and environmentally friendly choice. By providing dedicated parking spaces, you can help reduce the problem of illegal or haphazard parking, which often leads to congestion and increased emissions. Additionally, we can integrate eco-friendly features such as EV charging stations and sustainable construction materials to further enhance the environmental benefits of your parking facility.
