NCP car park operator falls into administration for second time this year
NCP Commercial Services Ltd, which runs more than 800 car parks and over 200,000 spaces across the UK, has entered administration again. Edward Williams, Timothy Andrew Higgins and David Robert Baxendale of PwC were appointed joint administrators on 30 September 2026.
The firm, owned by Japanese company Park24 and previously operating two sites in Bradford city centre, had already appointed administrators in March 2026, putting 682 jobs at risk. It had struggled with a post-Covid drop in demand, changed commuting patterns and costly, inflexible leases on loss-making sites.
Founded in London in 1931, NCP had described itself as the UK's number one car park operator. It is not yet clear how the latest administration will affect customers or staff.
