The greatest show in parking
The British Parking Awards are the premier event in the UK parking calendar.
This independent competition run by Parking Review and Landor LINKS celebrates the best of British parking since 2002.
Angela Barnes to reveal the winners
Brilliantly funny
Sarah Millican
She's just a gloriously down-to-earth, straight talking and extremely funny comic
The Guardian
Angela Barnes is the best mainstream female comedian I’ve seen since Sarah Millican... I can't be any clearer than that can I?
Bruce Dessau, Evening Standard critic
A beautifully paced performance that was aided by the consistent quality of her jokes, many of which showed a great skill with self-deprecation.
Chortle
Rewarding excellence
The annual competition was launched by Parking Review magazine in 2002 to recognise and celebrate best practice, innovation and achievement in the design and management of public and private sector parking.
The awards ceremony took place following a 4-star gala lunch held in London. The event, organised by Landor LINKS, attracted 600-plus guests.
The voice of parking
Roger Tilling is one of the most well-known and trusted voices on British television... and is now established as the voice of the British Parking Awards.
With over 30 years of television and radio experience, the UK's television networks have made Roger their first port of call when a Voice of God delivery is needed for major television events and primetime shows, from The Royal Variety Performance to The British Soap Awards, and Never Mind The Buzzcocks to Top Gear.
Since 1997 he has been the legendary voice of BBC's University Challenge, the world's longest-running TV quiz, pronouncing names like Rubio-Gorrochategui, Tyszczuk-Smith, Garčević, Bhattacharya, Warnakulasuriya, Drnovšek-Zorko and Papaphilippopulos at lightning speed and live in the studio.
