Take a little trip back to 2001 when two men decided it was time that the airport parking market needed shaking to it’s very core.
Two men who decided that to conquer Liverpool airport was quite simply not enough.
Two men who were to build a team who would transform not only the ease with which customers all over the UK could book their airport parking; who not only lead their field with such innovations as genuine customer reviews and booking confirmations to their customers mobiles, but also completely revolutionized the way in which airport parking is managed in the background.
Fast forward to 2011 and SkyParkSecure has moved from operating one small car park at Liverpool Airport, to selling airport parking, hotels, lounges, insurance, transfers and much more to hundreds of thousands of customers.
We work tirelessly to make sure that the products we sell are the very best available and will remove anything that isn't up to scratch. Because of this we put together our new customer message - our promise to you ...
"We take airport parking bookings for car parks all over the country and have to adhere to their terms and conditions.
However, we are aware that you chose SkyParkSecure to book your airport parking and we are genuinely very grateful for that.
Because of this our promise to you is that we will always be on your side; we will always fight your corner and will always do everything we can to make sure that you choose us again.
To this end, should you have any issues with your airport parking booking please let us know and we will liaise with the car park on your behalf to ensure the very best possible outcome.
Things don’t always go as planned but you can trust us to work for you with the express aim of retaining your trust."
We’d like you to meet the team we’re talking about because these are the people who are dedicated to everything involved in making sure that your parking experience runs smoothly.
David Brown - Managing Director
David is one of the company Directors and looks after the financial side of the business amongst other things. Despite his advancing years Dave can out tennis, golf, party and high kick the entire sorry lot of us.
Dave is a really keen traveller and has recently enjoyed visiting Vietnam, Cambodia and India. Ask him about huts on the beach and he’ll be off. He’s a Man City season ticket holder, despite our best efforts to convince him there are other things that hard earned money can be spent on.
Dean Pailing - Director
Dean is also a Director of the company looking after business development and making sure all the products we offer to our customers measure up to the task.
When he’s not working Dean spends a lot of time with his family and is a season ticket holder at Blackpool. Despite his need for a little stool to get into his 4×4, Dean’s passion for his family and his work motivates the rest of us to give that little extra.
Mark Szymik - Head of Development
Mark is our very own leg-end. Mark started working with us 4 years ago to take us onto a new level of development online. We’re about to relaunch our site and Mark has been the guy who’s made the site work so stunningly. It isn’t going to be long so watch this space.
When he’s not working, which isn’t very often, he enjoys going to the gym, photography and sending everyone in the office videos of his favourite Catherine Tate video of the week. Any girly giggles are likely to be coming from Mark’s corner. Or Tommy’s. Or Ian’s.
Ken Foster - PPC Marketing & Direct Affiliates Manager
Ken brings a wealth of online marketing experience to Skypark following his work for blue chip companies at AXA and Cartouche UK. He has a BA and a keen interest in music and the Arts.
His irrational and unwavering love of Manchester City make him the target of much priceless banter in the office but in fairness he has been getting his own back lately.
Karen Duckworth - Office Manager
Karen is our office manager – her unrivalled attention to detail makes her a priceless member of the SkyPark family. Having been here from the outset there is little that Karen doesn’t know about the business and she’ll happily do anything for her workmates.
Despite pretending to be shy, Karen’s loves spending the day with her fella visiting weird and wonderful places on his ridiculously over-powered motor bike. Loving the leathers by the way.
Sally Bowen - Accounts
Sally looks after everything financial for the company. Over the years this has got infinitely more complicated and Sal has kept everything in check brilliantly.
Sally’s dark secret is a wonderful creative side and having two grown up kids is a wonderful source of everything a parent could ever need for younger children. Birthdays are a special event in our office, mainly due to the unbelievable cakes Sal creates for our little family.
Dean Tomlinson - Email Marketing & Social Media Manager
Dean loves twiddling with Facebook and Twitter when he's supposed to be working but in spite of this he manages to run hugely successful email marketing campaigns and gain significant brand exposure for the company.
Dean's background is in SEO and graphic design which comes in very handy at times. We'll forget about his allegiance to Manchester United at this stage.
Ian Richardson - Head of Marketing & Affiliates
Ian has been here from the start and is the main man responsible for skypark’s rapid internet growth in the early years, not to mention being the guy that built the first version of the website. He also wrote all the charming things about the rest of us above.
These days Ian splits his time between working with the website, looking after his two kids and being our biggest creative force in marketing. While his judgement is never in doubt when it comes to the latest design, email campaign, or blog post; things seem to get a little hazy when it comes to Toto! Or Bolton FC. Or Simply Red. Or ludicrously over priced t-shirts…
