Smart Parking celebrates 30 years

Ashley to raise awareness of this new concept in parking and EV charging. The concept is simple, a payment system that can integrate and take payment at any of the many EV chargepoints, irrespective of their make and model. Twin also takes payment for parking, so basically there is no longer a requirement to have multiple credit card readers on every EV chargepoint and parking payment terminal.”

Smart Parking began life back in 1992 as a small parking operator trading under the name of Perth Car Parks. In 2003, its technology arm was established in New Zealand, a move that paved the way for a series of back-end solutions to be developed in-house and which are now offered to clients.

In 2012 the company rebranded itself as Smart Parking following the acquisition of Town & City Parking. Many members of Town & City Parking team are still with Smart Parking today. January 2013 saw the appointment of Paul Gillespie as the chief executive of Smart Parking. Under his leadership, over the past decade the company has continued to grow and set up new operations in New Zealand and Australia during 2021, and moved Germany at the beginning of 2022.

During the same period, new acquisitions were also made through the purchases of Enterprise Parking Solutions in 2021 and NE Parking in 2022. This year has seen Smart Parking announce the acquisition of German-based Park Innovation.

Paul Gillespie said: “Moving forward, our focus will remain on offering clients an unrivalled system and service that they can truly rely on. The business is nothing without its people and it’s the people who will take the company to the next stage in our journey.”
