Ariadne amalgamated its wholly owned car-parking business Kings Parking with the Secure Parking business on 1 November 2004. The result has been the formation of the largest car parking business in Australia. Ariadne has an ongoing 50% interest in a joint venture entity S & K Car Park Management Pty Limited (“S & K”) which operates the Kings Parking and Secure Parking brand names.
S & K manages car parking revenues in excess of $200 million through over 200 car parks on the eastern seaboard of Australia. As a consequence of the merger, S & K has the financial and operating capacity to seek further growth and generate economic benefits derived from critical mass and scale. The merger has brought together a complementary range of operating and management skills, backed by the strong financial and corporate disciplines of a publicly listed company.
S & K is a multi-disciplinary car park service provider, and the industry leader in the areas of customer service, marketing and relationship management with owners and landlords. S & K’s philosophy has been to maintain an appropriate balance between increasing revenue and providing the highest levels of customer service. S & K’s focus on integrating new technologies and methodologies across all facets of car park management brings its clients and parking customers a seamless and integrated product offering. The company is continually reinventing its core service, as well as identifying and implementing new opportunities to improve customer patronage and financial returns for stakeholders.
This philosophy has resulted in S & K not only being Australia’s largest provider of car park management services, but has also allowed the development of deep competencies in the following areas:
- Car park lay-out and design
- Traffic flow management
- Assessment and implementation of advance car park control equipment and associated technologies
- Provision of car park operational labour on a short or long term basis
- Integration of value added services into the car parking environment eg. car washing and dry cleaning
