28 October 2024 – Fourth-generation family-owned business, Airport Parking and Hotels (APH.com), has today acquired another family business with the purchase of Highwayman Parking serving travellers using Cardiff Airport.

The off-airport car park is the closest independent parking to Cardiff Airport with a shuttle bus transfer time of only five minutes available 24 hours a day, making it a convenient option for travellers. The experienced staff at the site including husband and wife management team Chris and Nicki Evans will transfer over to APH also ensuring a continuation of the outstanding customer service the car park has become renowned for, receiving an impressive 4.94 review rating from customers.

Travellers using Cardiff Airport will continue to have the option of booking independent and affordable off-airport parking at Cardiff Airport under the new APH ownership.  

Also remaining will be the Highwayman Inn, a traditional, welcoming Welsh pub located at the car park and offering exceptional food and a wide range of beverages.

Derek Gaynor, Managing Director of the Gaynor Group and Owner of the Highwayman car park said, “We’ve been working with APH for many years, and they were the perfect fit to take on ownership of the car park ensuring our loyal customers will continue to receive outstanding service and a stress-free transfer to and from the airport. I’m retiring but it’s an exciting time for the car park and the staff, who will all stay on, and we’re looking forward to seeing it continue under the new APH management.”   

Nick Caunter, Managing Director of Airport Parking and Hotels (APH.com), said, “APH is delighted to take the reins from Derek and his family and wish him the very best in his retirement. We have a lot of confidence in the future of Cardiff Airport and we’ll continue to offer travellers a choice when it comes to their airport parking. The experienced team at the car park and the Highwayman pub will all remain just as they are.”
