History

Robbins Parking Service

Our Company’s History

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 Clough, our Chairman and CEO, bought Robbins in 1999 and continued to use Jack’s outlook as a guide, operating under the premise that no two lots are the same and approaching each job with an open mind and a fresh eye.

From our offices in Victoria and Nanaimo, Robbins currently manages over 150 parking facilities generating annual revenues exceeding $30 Million. With our long track record of providing first-class parking management services and state-of-the-art parking equipment and systems, our clients can be assured that we will always look after their interests, providing exemplary customer service while maximizing long-term value to their property.

Robbins History & Company Background

When Jack Robbins first founded our company back in 1958 as a small, one-lot business, he had a vision – not to be the biggest parking solutions provider, but the best. Jack saw success by applying a personalized and hands-on approach to every new parking situation. When Paul T. Clough, our Chairman and CEO, bought Robbins in 1999, he guided this Vancouver Island company back to its roots, operating under the premise that no two lots are the same and approaching each job with an open mind and a fresh eye.
