Gatwick Eco Parking wins top award

Eco Parking has won the Essential Travel Car Park Attendant of the Month award from www.essentialtravel.co.uk in association with the British Parking Association.

The coveted award is voted for by thousands of Essential Travel customers who book their great value Gatwick Airport meet and greet parking on the price comparison website each month.

And for this month, December, the award was presented to Sean McCarthy of Eco Parking – who showed ‘exemplary performance, professional attitude and dedicated customer service’.

Eco Parking, a division of Help-Me-Park, pride themselves on their customer service and attention to detail. Details that include fully uniformed and insured drivers, a courtesy call whilst the customer is en route to the airport to reconfirm details and ETA, safe and secure parking facilities, as well as a 24 hour telephone contact number – something many car parking firms do not provide.

Meet and greet parking at Gatwick Airport’s South and North Terminals with Eco Parking and Help-Me-Park gives passengers total peace of mind that their vehicle will be parked safely and securely by driving professionals. The secure parking facility boasts double fencing around the entire perimeter, is floodlit, has CCTV and 24/7 alarm monitoring. The meet and greet service operates 24/7, 365 days a year. It is the ideal choice for families, time pressed business travellers, elderly and disabled passengers, negating the need for timely waits for courtesy buses to the airport from remote car parks. Prices are from just £53 per week.

Speaking about the award, which is through a mixture of outstanding customer service, time keeping, and service ethics, Sean says “It’s really great to get the award. I would like to say that this is an award for the whole team. We all work really hard and this could not have been achieved without the commitment of all the guys here.”

Sean wins a month’s supply of his favourite biscuits, which are … Jammy Dodgers! And finds his place on Essential Travel’s ‘Parking Attendant of the Month Hall of Fame’.

Essential Travel offers a whole host of reputable companies offering a complete range of holiday extras, including airport parking across the UK, travel insurance and airport lounges. The site offers guaranteed best price, with no hidden extras or charges.

Congratulations again Sean!
