Car park operator Q-Park forges sponsorship links with PWSA
UKcar-park operator Q-Park Ltd will be supporting the PWSA with exciting corporate sponsorship links, starting with our 25th anniversary and including an exclusive car park discount offer through their 22 airport parking facilities. Q-Park’s Chief Executive, Alan Ashbee, talks about the company’s support for the PWSA and how, as a parking operator, they too are determined to make a difference.
“The Prader-Willi Syndrome Association is a charity that Q-Park is proud to be associated with. In the last couple of months, since the charity first became known to us I have been particularly impressed by the small group of very dedicated people who are determined to make a difference to people’s lives. I am particularly delighted to make the link with PWSA during your 25th anniversary. We will do all we can by providing corporate sponsorship as well as undertaking in-house and externally linked fund-raising initiatives that match the commitment of your own team”. Alan Ashbee
Making parking a pleasure
Making a difference to people’s lives is in fact central to Q-Park’s own ethos.
Parking is an integral part of everyday life, and it is Q-Park’s firm belief that it should be a pleasure not an ordeal, with customers having an enjoyable and positive experience. “Our approach” said Alan, “is simple: to construct and refurbish car parks to the highest quality and design standards, and to provide superb levels of customer service. Our car parks offer a stylish, clean, well-lit, secure environment that is easy to access and exit, has spacious parking bays and convenient payment systems, and is manned by helpful, knowledgeable and courteous staff.”
Commitment to quality
Q-Park’s commitment to quality has earned the company a host of industry awards, including Car Park of the Year and Best Car Park Refurbishment, and it is the only car park operator to have won a RoSPA Health & Safety Award. The company also holds 55 Park Mark Safer Parking Scheme accreditations, and was recognised in a recent nation-wide car park survey carried out on behalf of AA Insurance, where two Q-Park car parks featured in the top ten.
Creative opportunities
Q-Park’s 62 UK car-parking sites across the UK are at airports, rail terminals, in city centres and at NHS Trust sites. In addition to providing top quality parking facilities, the car parks are also proving to be a big draw for special events. The Institute of Chartered Surveyors has booked one of the car parks as the venue for their annual summer ball for the second time, and a Glasgow car park was used for a fashion show to launch the site.
