Tom Handiside, NZ General Manager
Growing as a business meant more parks than the team needed
When La Marzocco grew as a business, it moved to a larger office space which had more parking bays than their team needed. With four unused bays, NZ General Manager Tom Handiside needed to find a solution for leasing the parks that was easy to manage and didn’t take his time away from the core business.
A solution that’s fast, efficient, and flexible
Leasing La Marzocco’s four extra bays on Parkable has a number of features that Tom appreciates. Car park management is fast and efficient, as everything can be done via Smartphone; the system is flexible so more bays can be made available in real-time, for instance if someone who usually parks at work is on leave; and it is easy to contact the people who are parking if need be.

Extra income that funds team social fun
Other than providing an easy and efficient solution to leasing La Marzocco’s car parks, Tom states that the extra income is put to excellent use: “certainly our Friday night social fun has benefitted.” Now that’s what we call improved team engagement!
