Over 100 entries compete for British Parking Awards glory

Innovative thinking and a commitment to best practice are very much in evidence in the 100-plus entries we have received for this year’s British Parking Awards.

The challenge facing the jury over the next two months will be whittling down this impressive list of entries into a short list which will be debated at length. The winners, to be revealed by Paralympian and TV presenter Ade Adepitan in London on 6 March, will represent the best of the best in British parking today. Now in its 14th year, the gala awards lunch is the most highly anticipated event of the UK parking calendar. 

The awards lunch is attended by over 550 people and always sells out. To book click here
