Asset Skills works with the British Parking Association (BPA) to help drive up skills across parking. The UK parking profession includes:

• Private operators responsible for off-street parking, eg, car parks, hospital and airport parking 
• Local authorities responsible for both on and off-street parking
• Private subcontractors working on on-street parking
• Consultants advising both on and off-street operations

The profession also includes operators carrying out specialist activities such as immobilising and removing vehicles or recovering debt (bailiffs).
