The UK’s leading car park

operator says its new
fleet of cleaning machines
have helped it e iciently
manage its estate during the
pandemic.
NCP, which operates more
than 500 sites across the UK,
invested in 20 Glutton cleaners
to further enhance safety and
cleanliness in its car parks. The
Glutton delivered significant
productivity gains, enabling
NCP to keep its sites in great
condition, even with a reduced
workforce during the current
pandemic and furlough period.
Brian Devonshire, Director
of Managed Services for NCP,
said: “With the onset of the
pandemic we have had to look
closely at all opex and make
e iciencies wherever possible
without impacting service.
Therefore, having the Glutton
machines at a time when we
have a reduced workforce from
furlough measures has meant we have been able
to keep on top of a key objective of keeping our car
parks clean for our customers.”
The Glutton is an all-electric, pedestrian
controlled vacuum cleaner that can tackle dust, dirt
and debris up to 12.5cm in diameter. The batterypowered
machine is quiet, e icient and designed
to capture dust, helping to improve air quality.
Brian added: “We have had very positive feedback
from our teams, who recognise the value of time
given back to re-deploy labour more e ectively by
utilising the Glutton. Replacing manual brush and
shovel with something as e icient and e ective
as Glutton has made their lives a lot easier and
has helped them dedicate more time to helping
customers and to become even more proud of their
car parks.”
ePower Trucks, the authorised UK distributor for
the Glutton, supplied the machines in a custom
colour for NCP, along with some specialist trailers.
ePower Trucks is a leading independent supplier of
on and o -highway electric vehicles, designed for
a wide range of applications. The Oldham-based
company is celebrating 20 years in business.
“Having received and assessed a range of
proposals we began working with ePower
Trucks and quickly found they had taken time to
understand our business and our objectives,” said
Brian. “They listened to us as we explained the
challenges we were facing; and we were impressed
by the way the team went about ensuring they met
our expectations and requirements. We look
upon them as a partner rather than as a supplier.
“Quite simply investing in the Glutton machines
has enabled us to improve standards, deliver
welcome e iciencies and allowed us to re-deploy
our people to spend more time with our customers.”
