I wish my charge from Met Parking had gone to court! I'm very tempted to park in the same McDonalds for 61 minutes to see what happens.

I doubt that this fact was emphasised to Capita during the takeover.<br /><br /> Given PE manages 830+ or 750+ Car Parks and there must be a number of signs in each Car Park to be replaced, the expenditure will be considerable.

ParkingEye may be following a last ditch attempt to regain credibility with their masters at Capita. It appears to be misfiring sensationally.<br /><br /> At the time of the takeover Capita said in their press release:<br /><br />"Based in Chorley, Lancashire, ParkingEye has around 160 employees, managing more than 830 car parks across the UK."<br /><br />PE's accounts for the year ending August 31 2013 state they manage in excess of 750 car parks for 169 customers.<br /><br />The press release by Capita also says:<br /><br />“ParkingEye is forecasting an operating profit of £8.1 million on turnover of £25.8 million in its financial year to 31 August 2014.” <br /><br />But PE's accounts for the year ended 31 August show a profit of £1.02M a fall from 2012's £3.29M. The turnover for 2013 was £14,2M a slight increase from 2012's £13.9M<br /><br />The forecast for 2014 in the press release of a profit £8.1M with a turnover of £25.8M, given it appears by PE, and which may have been relevant to the price Capita paid for PE i.e. £57.5M is probably deserving of a major prize for fiction. The words pig in a poke come to mind. But miracles do happen!!!<br /><br />If I were a Capita shareholder I think I would be asking about the wisdom of acquiring PE and what kind of due diligence was done to verify whether PE's forecast profits were reasonable. Perhaps Capita should have noted the various fictional costs etc. presented to courts by PE and have realised that accounting/arithmetic is not PE's strongest suit.<br />TheSnail @/"https://www.blogger.com/profile/14747674135677422612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3050188067980163727.post-17539719644854731462014-04-12T11:33:06.612-07:002014-04-12T11:33:06.612-07:00fantastic , I could have driven over with the popc...fantastic , I could have driven over with the popcorn , but was worried about the parkingalanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07083797364664738574noreply@blogger.com
