Our Company’s History
Robbins Parking Service was found in 1958 as a small, one-lot business– our first lot was on Broughton and Douglas.
Jack Robbins founded Robbins Parking in 1958 as a small one-lot business, managing a parking lot on Broughton and Douglas. Jack’s vision was not to be the biggest parking solutions provider, but the best. With this goal, applying a personalized and hands-on approach to every parking facility he managed, he saw success and expanded quickly..
Paul T. Clough, our Chairman and CEO, bought Robbins in 1999. Paul guided this Vancouver Island company back to its roots, operating under the premise that no two lots are exactly the same and approaching each job with an open mind and a fresh eye. Adding to our unusual, tailored style of parking management is our many years of experience.
We provide parking management services to over 210 parking facilities through our sister companies- Platinum Parking and Nortech.
Our first license plate recognition (LPR) vehicle is introduced. Robbins was the first parking management company in Western Canada to operate LPR operations.
We currently manage about 250 parking lots throughout Vancouver Island, as well as on—street parking in Sidney and Nanaimo and Langdale Ferry Terminal. We recently started parking and permit management for the District of Tofino.
Who knows what is next for Robbins Parking, but we are excited about the future. Stay tuned.
