Gatwick Meet and Greet Parking Company Help-Me-Park Successfully Retain the Safer Parking Scheme ParkMark® Award.

London Gatwick Airport – 27th July 2010: Gatwick meet and greet parking company Help-me-park has met the high standards of the Safer Parking Scheme and been granted the Parkmark® award for their car park for the second year running.

Mike Bibby (Development Manager – S. East) said “I am very pleased to have been part of working with Mr. McCarthy and the police accredited assessors John Lee and Mike Bessent from Surrey Police resulting in this operation meeting the high standards required to meet Safer Parking accreditation. With no crime recorded over the past twelve months, this creates a safe and non-threatening environment and customers can feel confident in the knowledge their vehicles will be well cared for”.

Many improvements to the CCTV, access control, security lighting and boundary security have been made over the past year as well as to the management practices, staff training and security procedures involved in operating a secure meet and greet parking service and facility.

Sean McCarthy (Operations Director) said “As a premium provider of meet and greet parking services at London Gatwick Airport it is paramount that we offer and are seen to offer a trusted and reliable service to our clients. Having worked closely with the Police and the Safer Parking Scheme to achieve the standards required I would recommend every customer looking for airport parking to check that the car park they use has the Parkmark® accreditation for their peace of mind. There have been too many recent incidences of rogue meet and greet companies parking in supermarket car parks, local roads and industrial estates.”

About the Parkmark® award The Safer Parking Scheme is an initiative of the Associations of Chief Police Officers aimed at reducing crime and the fear of crime in parking facilities. Safer parking status, Park Mark®, is awarded to parking facilities that have met the requirements of a risk assessment conducted by the Police. These requirements mean the parking operator has put in place measures that help to deter criminal activity and anti-social behaviour, thereby doing everything they can to prevent crime and reduce the fear of crime in their parking facility. For customers, using a Park Mark® Safer Parking facility means that the area has been vetted by the Police and has measures in place to create a safe environment.
