    There was another one missing last week, too. Wonder if some sanctions have been dished out, or if someone got over-excited editing the list?

    Its strange they're not listed but say they're accredited. Sound a bit like fraud by false representation to me if they aren't members
    They couldy be just corporate members and not members of the IPC's Approved Operator Scheme.

    Do they actually say that they are accredited?

    On their website it just says that the IPC is an accredited trade body.

    Brown Trout's suggested Google search proves they were accredited.

    I'm sorry but but I'm not seeing Parking Lots Ltd on any of those lists.

    Yes, they do show up on the Google search results list entry, but actually looking at the webpage - they are not there.

    A ctrl+F agrees.


    As BT suggests, they probably were on the list a few days ago, perhaps google's indexing is a little out of date.

    Yes that's what we are saying - we all agree they were, but are not now.

    OK, I get it now. :o

    And here's confirmation from Google Cache that they were accredited a couple of days ago:
    This is Google's cache of https://theipc.info/ipc-members/p. It is a snapshot of the page as it appeared on 28 Jan 2019 13:52:42 GMT.
