Platinum's Parent: Robbins Parking Service Ltd.
Platinum Parkings' parent company, Robbins Parking, was founded in 1958 with one lot. The business was built not as much a physical entity, as a service business where value and integrity reigned supreme. Robbins established a centralized parking management system which is able to bring proven systems of operations and efficiency to every parking lot that Robbins manages.
The company's proven hands-on approach maximizes revenue, saves money and delivers a superior product, not just for customers, but for property owners, managers and businesses which surround the lot.
The core values of Robbins were passed on to a new family member with the acquisition of Platinum Parking in 2004. Through mindful, smart, deliberate growth, Platinum has embraced the attributes which made Robbins a success.
