WHY INDEPENDENT
Advice is only worth having if it is independent
Plenty of parking advice comes from someone with something to sell. TPMC exists to be the exception: free, independent advice for landowners and property managers, on your side of the table from the first conversation.
Trust in this market has been strained
It is well known that trust between the two sides of the private parking sector has been strained, and that there is often a disconnect between the people who run sites and the operators who serve them. That does not mean everyone is bad. It means the market is hard to read from the outside, and first impressions are unreliable: the firm at the top of the search results is the one with the best advertising, not necessarily the best fit for your site. Our answer is simple:
- Every operator and supplier we work with is fully vetted
- Strong compliance records and demonstrated customer satisfaction required in every category
- The same advice whether or not you work with us: do proper research, take your time, and go in well advised
What independence means in practice
Independence is not a slogan; it is a set of working rules we hold ourselves to on every engagement.
Whole of market
Every credible operator and supplier considered for your site, no preferred panel.
One side of the table
We act for the client. We never advise both sides of the same arrangement.
Interests declared
If any conflict of interest arises, we declare it and stand aside when necessary.
Plain English
Everything we produce is written to be read, in plain English and without jargon.
Assessed, not paid
No supplier can pay to be recommended, full stop. That applies to every category we assess: enforcement operators, ANPR and camera technology, payment systems, signage, lighting, maintenance, and ancillary services. A place in our recommendations is earned on three things, and it is not negotiable:
- Their compliance record
- Their commercial terms
- Their fit for your site
You can check our work
Independence you cannot verify is just a claim, so we make it checkable.
Audit rights
Our recommendations come with the evidence behind them, and you retain the right to check our work.
Free means free
Our advice costs you nothing. No fee, no obligation, and no pressure to act on it.
