Rupert J Williams, Managing Director
"Within the parking industry there are some unscrupulous operators with untrained staff who have given the parking management industry a bad reputation and a poor image."
[His email is: rupert@ukparkingcontrol.com]
“The nature of our business means that we tend to get challenged a lot on what we are doing – so finding a good legal firm is absolutely essential,” says Rupert Williams, Managing Director at UKPC.
“We originally engaged B P Collins LLP to help us when we were involved in a TV programme about unscrupulous wheel clamping companies."
"UK Parking Control Ltd was convicted at Hull Crown Court of one count of misleading customers....The firm was convicted of misleading mother-of-two Joanne Clark, of Gilberdyke, after it wrongly claimed she had parked for more than two hours."
[Count 13 of the indictment - Engaging in a commercial practice which was a misleading action contrary to Regulation 9 of the Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations 2008]
"A spokesman for UK Parking Control and its managing director Rupert Williams said: “Mr Williams accepts the guilty verdict of the jury in relation to the charges faced by the company”.
But, on Appeal instituted by the company, - conviction overturned - East Riding of Yorkshire v UK Parking Control Limited [2012] (High Court QBD,Hull Crown Court and Court of Appeal) Reported [2012] EWCA Crim 1560 [2012]CTLR
"We regret to confirm that a limited number of pictures of vehicles, at a small number of car parks, have had their timestamp altered by a few of our employees to make it appear as though the vehicles had over-stayed when this was not the case.......We have never before had a problem of this nature, which runs contrary to the normally high standards of our business and the rigorous training of all our staff."
