Smart parking poach parking eye staff;

Parking Prankster blogspot and excerpt:

http://parking-prankster.blogspot.co.uk/2015/01/are-smart-parking-next-parkingeye.html


"Are Smart Parking the next ParkingEye?
The Prankster's Smart Parking mole has informed him that they have poached Ben Johnson from ParkingEye, and he is now Smart Parking's new Managing Director. Ben is rumoured to be ruthless, and his first action was to made a large number of redundancies, sweeping out unnecessary senior operations managers to streamline the operation. It appears the company will now concentrate primarily on ANPR only operations and remove manpower from sites."

  • So much for managing car parks !
    I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.
  • Off topic and really pedantic- apologies - but 4consumerrights, I suspect your sig should read:

    JE SUIS CHARLIE – ES TU CHARLIE? - NOUS SOMMES CHARLIE

    (the orginal version read as "I am Charlie - and you Charlie? - we are Charlie" - and I'm presuming you want to say "I am Charlie - are you Charlie? - we are Charlie")

    En ce moment, nous sommes tous Charlie.

    ZG.

    somewhere lurking out there is a document from smarts Australian parent company stating something like their aim is to maximise profits form parking fines - or something like that.
    From the Plain Language Commission:

    "The BPA has surely become one of the most socially dangerous organisations in the UK"
