YourParkingSpace

This online marketplace offers more than 350,000 parking spaces that are bookable by the hour, day or month. The platform enables people to earn money by renting out their driveways to motorists. The company also lists spaces in commercial car parks and provides services, such as cashless parking, to clients including Premier Inn. Serial entrepreneurs Harrison Woods and Charles Cridland co-founded YourParkingSpace in 2013, and Andrew Higginson, the former chairman of Morrisons, joined as nonexecutive chairman five years later. The business is backed by private-equity firm Pelican Capital, which invested £5m in 2020. Sales rose 47% last year to £18.2m.
