Glasgow Drivers Reach Holland at the Press of a Button

Thursday, 29 April 2010

In recognition of Glasgow’s growing status as a cultural capital that never sleeps, the newly refurbished Q-Park car park on Sauchiehall Street is to open 24 hours, allowing the public to park and collect their cars at any time, night or day.

Located in this most popular and friendliest of shopping centres, the Q-Park is close to quality shops, museums, restaurants, pubs, clubs and bars and it has easy access to the M8 motorway.

This new innovative service has been introduced to accommodate night-workers, party animals and those staying in nearby hotels (such as the Novotel, Hilton and Victorian House).

Progressive technology is now being used to allow the 24 hour opening, in the form of a control room in Holland, where staff monitor on-site camera images on a wide bank of video screens. Customers who make contact via the intercom system, for example, to solve problems with payment, quickly get through to a member of staff in the Q-Park Control Room who can assist around the clock. They also have the ability to move and monitor the CCTV cameras in the Sauchiehall Street parking destination.

Said Adam Bidder, Managing Director of Q-Park: “Glasgow is a vibrant city with much to offer by day and night. We are doing our best to accommodate this by providing both exceptional customer service and convenience to its visitors, residents and workers.”
