Newlyn PLC

Testimonial  

We have been members of the British Parking Association since their inception. We’ve always seen the BPA as a prime route to connecting with the UK’s Parking Industry. The events they organise simply cannot be missed.

Testimonial

As a small growing business, we have benefited considerably from our membership. This includes  advice on car park signage and some potential conflicts of interest between the Approved Operators code of practice and the requirements of a landowner. We are kept up to date with all news and potential legislative changes through the monthly Parking News.
