key account executive jobs

Creative Car Park (CCP) is a car park management service that helps small to medium land and site owners maximise the value, convenience, and security of their parking areas.

As a leading UK car park management company with over 25 years in the industry, CCP leads the way in the development of parking technology and was the first to use ANPR camera technology to manage and enforce car parking.

We believe that a car park isn’t just somewhere where people leave their car. The experience in a car park often leaves a lasting impression, and that experience typically means the difference to a user of a good or a bad day.

Our mission is to develop the very best car park experience for both site owners and car park users, for peace of mind, security, and value. And we care about great parking…even the concrete places!

We continue to develop creative commercial solutions to meet the changing needs of car park owners and their communities around the country.

CCP is experiencing rapid change as it develops and adapts to a changing market to deliver on its ambition to grow ahead of market.
