Creative Car Park

Parking is often overlooked by small and medium-sized businesses – until it becomes a problem.

To find out more about the parking challenges SMEs face, we grabbed a coffee with Creative Car Park sales director Mark Wallace to discover his thoughts.

"For me, the main challenge for SMEs is they don’t always have the time or the resources to manage their car park," he says. "And often it isn’t seen as something that needs to be managed. It’s just a car park, part and parcel of what they do. It’s not seen as an asset. But I've always said, parking is not a big part of their business until it becomes an issue – then it’s suddenly priority one, because parking is so emotive. The minute there’s an issue with parking, it becomes the most important thing. So when customers or staff can’t park because random vehicles are being left on-site all day, it leads to massive frustration. This affects SMEs in particular as they tend to have a smaller number of spaces. And every space is valuable..."
