Richard Boultbee appointed MD of WPS Parking Solutions 

WPS Parking Solutions, a global leading specialist in parking management technologies, has appointed Richard Boultbee as its new managing director for WPS UK. He has been recruited to bring new impetus into WPS’ strategy and delivery.  

With more than 20 years’ experience, Richard is already a familiar name in the parking industry, notably for his expertise in delivering high quality, solutions-led technologies. He is the current chairman of the British Parking Association in the Yorkshire and Humberside region, and a member of both the Public Affairs Board and the Technology, Innovation and Research Board. 

Richard says he is excited by the chance to further build WPS’ reputation as one of the UK’s leading parking solutions providers: “Success in the past has come from combining the latest technology with best-in-class after-sales service and sensible pricing to deliver an exceptional customer experience. I am looking replicate this strategy at WPS. 

“We are lucky within the business to have a well-established and long-standing team that has seen WPS grow from its infancy to what it is now, and are committed to making WPS an even greater success.” 

Earlier this year, WPS introduced a new open and adaptive approach to parking that brings together complimentary equipment to its central offering using both its own, third-party applications and operator services to deliver a seamless parking solution. The WPS Platform is also hardware interoperable, with Prestop, an international manufacturer of premium kiosks, its first third party hardware supplier. 

“We continue to thrive after the throes of a pandemic and I plan to demonstrate we are more customer focused than ever, with our new open and adaptive approach to parking,” adds Richard. 

“Our ultimate goal: enabling the perfect motorist experience through providing parking solutions that not only facilitate, but also enrich every type of customer journey.” 

Erik Stronk, WPS Global CEO, says that Richard brings new thinking and focus to the business: “We have great confidence in Richard and in his ability to take WPS from strength to strength, utilising his experience and strategic direction into both our present and future exploits.” 

Richard takes over from Simon Jarvis, who has moved into the consultancy sector.
