Online parking provider JustPark has made two new appointments to its management team.

Hannah Fuller joins JustPark as head of parking partnership from rival platform PayByPhone UK, where she was client director. “There are so many opportunities to innovate and to raise the profile of what makes parking an exciting industry to work in,” said Fuller. “With the current landscape within transport expected to change dramatically as a result of COVID-19, technology will play an increasingly important role in the parking industry, however even for a tech company like JustPark, starting a new role during this pandemic has had it’s challenges.”

Navin Nair joins the company as chief product officer to lead the product and technology teams. Nair started his career as a developer but switched focus to product development. He worked at the BBC and Timeout before setting up his own consultancy, primarily working with start-ups and scale-ups. He said: “I started working with JustPark as a consultant and, as soon as I started, I could see that they were different. I was excited by both the team and the oppurtunities ahead.”

Both Fuller and Nair joined the company as the coronavirus lockdown took hold, which has presented them with challenges. JustPark chief executive Anthony Eskinazi said: “When Hannah and Navin ‘met’ as two new joiners, one of the main topics of conversation was how strange it is to start a new job in our current situation.

“Things like meeting new team members over Zoom, not being able to walk over to a desk to ask a quick question or catch up on the weekend’s activities over lunch means building relationships could have been a real challenge. The way JustPark has adapted their family feel working environment to the new 'work from home normal' has been remarkable.”
