What Parking Facilities does

Parking Facilities Ltd is a UK-based manufacturer of vehicular and pedestrian access management solutions, founded in 2001 and operating from a manufacturing facility in Tamworth as a subsidiary of the Stretton Investments conglomerate. The company designs, engineers, and builds its product range in-house from aluminium and galvanised steel, comprising automatic barriers (PF6000 series), automatic swing, bifolding, and cantilever sliding gates (PF9000, PF9100, PF9500, PF9700), manual barriers and pedestrian gates, and a full range of turnstiles (PF4000, PF4500, and the security-rated TYTAN SR family). Its flagship differentiator is the TYTAN range, which holds LPS 1175 certification at SR1, SR2, and SR3 levels, providing independently tested resistance ratings for high-security perimeter applications.

The product architecture integrates access management hardware with third-party systems including ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition), keypads and fob readers, intercoms, guardhouse controls, timed opening schedules, and building management systems. The PF4500 and TYTAN SR Smart Turnstiles incorporate biometric technologies (with CloudPass biometrics support) for automated pedestrian access management, including check-in, background checks, and inductions. All products are delivered fully assembled as plug-and-play units, which reduces installation complexity for buyers.

Parking Facilities generates revenue primarily through one-time hardware sales of barriers, gates, and turnstiles, complemented by professional services covering site assessment, bespoke design, manufacturing, delivery, and commissioning. Pricing is custom-quoted based on site requirements, opening dimensions, and security ratings, with no public price list. The company operates a sales-led, consultative go-to-market, engaging directly with end clients and working alongside architects, contractors, and facilities managers as channel partners. It serves nine customer segments, with commercial and industrial properties as the primary vertical, alongside construction sites, hostile vehicle mitigation, councils, highways, data centres, the broader public sector, sports venues, and events. Geographic reach is UK-only, with DHL named as a disclosed enterprise customer for turnstile installation.
