ZZPS makes 2023 Sunday Times Best Places to Work list

ZZPS, a company that specialises in the collection and management of unregulated debts, has been listed in the Sunday Times Best Places to Work 2023 list.

The newspaper states: “Training is part of the job for staff of parking ticket debt collection agency ZZPS. The entire 29-strong workforce at the Surrey-based firm has achieved their Level 3 NVQ in notice processing.

“Those being chased for payment of often controversial parking fines may feel less enthusiastic about ZZPS employees’ professional qualifications, however.

“There are also workshops on topics such as conflict management and GDPR legislation. Bacon sandwiches and pizza lighten the mood and staff can work from home if needed.”

The Sunday Times Best Places to Work list recognises organisations who have consistently high levels of employee experience and wellbeing in the UK.

We currently supply and have vacancies around the UK for Permanent and Temporary positions:

Unity5, a software company working in the parking and environmental management sector, has revamped its Zatpark product brands.

The new identity is designed to enhance recognition of Unity5 as a technology provider whose mission is “Making the complex simple”.

The project sees Zatpark, Zatmobile, Zatpermit, Zatkiosk and Zatenviro receiving new brand marks and identities.

The new brand family seeks to help delineate corporate and product entities.

The branding reflects the link between the main Unity5 brand and the product brands, a link reinforced via the colour palette, a more modern brand mark and supportive imagery.

Dave Herbert, chief executive officer, Unity5, said: “We have adopted an approach that combines recognition of the value of our product brands in their respective sectors, whilst ensuring that each brand entity is mutually supportive.

“Unity5 has its foundations firmly in the technology sector and our aim is simply to make complex business processes simple in whichever sector we support.

“The brand evolution is a long time in the making. Over the past 10-plus years, Unity5 has established its credentials as a leader in the delivery of software-as-a-service (SaaS) parking management solutions. Our new product brands are much more representative of a philosophy which aims to make complex business processes simple.”

Unity5, founded in 2010, is a SaaS technology company. Based in Exeter, the company has focussed on developing technology solutions for business and consumer environments.
