Mandy was responsible for monitoring all the Acute Trust’s Estates Services and management of the Parking Contract for the Hospital sites. Mandy then gained a qualification in Management and remained in this post until 2006. Due to financial constraints at the Trust, Mandy then moved to West Sussex PCT as Dental Contracts Manager - responsible for managing all the NHS dental contracts in West Sussex. Deciding that this was not an occupation that she wanted to continue with, Mandy then successfully applied for position of On-Street Parking Services Manager for Worthing Borough Council and began this new post in July 2007, whilst neing instrumental in implementing CPE in Worthing on 10 September 2007. Following a Joint Officer structure being put in place with Adur District Council in April 2008, the parking enforcement service at Adur District Council was part of a wider business plan to bring all separate services for each council into one. Mandy took over the parking enforcement of the Adur car parks in November 2008 and became Parking Enforcement Manager for both Worthing Borough Council and Adur District Council. Civil Parking Enforcement was then implemented in Adur by Mandy on 5 March 2009 and Mandy added the management of this to her growing portfolio, which meant she now managed on-street parking in Worthing and Adur and off-street parking in Adur. With CPE in Adur proving to be highly successful from the very start, Mandy was recently also asked to take over the management of the off-street contract in Worthing. This now means that Mandy manages all parking services for both Worthing Borough and Adur District, covering an area from the Western edge of Worthing to Hove in the East and bringing with it a further change in job title to Parking Services Manager. Mandy manages the teams providing the services and manages the 2 contractors that provide the out-sourced aspects – NSL Services and NCP Limited. Mandy is extremely pro-active in performance management so her key aims of ‘value for money’ and ‘excellent customer service’ have achieved this growth in role and positive recognition from her peers. Having been shortlisted for the Marketing award at the recent BPA awards, Mandy is also beginning to make a name for herself in the parking world, with new projects in the offing and further education for the motorist at the forefront of her mind.
