Highlights From 2025

Product Advancements
Our team launched major enhancements to the Hozah platform, including Hozah PreBook and the new Console, designed to reduce administrative burden and improve the user experience.

Thought Leadership and Insights
Throughout 2025, we shared case studies, insights, and industry reflections showing how parking is becoming smarter, simpler, and more sustainable. These stories demonstrate measurable revenue growth, improved customer satisfaction, and more efficient operations, all available in our News section.

These achievements reflect our belief that parking isn’t just about space; it’s about experience, efficiency, and community impact.

Welcome to Our Newest Partners

2025 has been a year of meaningful growth, with a range of exciting venues joining the Hozah family. These partners, spanning retail, leisure, sports, and community spaces, are embracing automated, barrier‑free parking to enhance the driver experience and deliver smarter, fairer operations:

  • Festival Place, Basingstoke: Introduced Hozah AutoPay across the centre, including a competition offering a year of free parking. This not only improved the visitor experience but also contributed to Festival Place’s chosen charity.

  • Oaklands College: Upgraded to Hozah’s AI-powered system, offering simple tariffs, barrier-free AutoPay, free short stays, and operational control to future-proof campus parking.

  • Blackburn Rovers: Launched a fan-first parking experience at Ewood Park, with ticketless, cashless entry and PreBook options, reducing congestion and improving matchday flows.

  • Redbridge Sports & Leisure: Introduced a new parking management system giving members and visitors free parking allowances with simple registration, improving access and streamlining operations.

  • The Marlowes, Hemel Hempstead: Implemented a modern, automated parking experience for shoppers, enabling quicker entry and exit, clearer pricing, and simpler payment options.

  • The Pavillions: Replaced traditional ticketing with barrier-free AutoPay, making visits faster and more convenient for shoppers.

  • Rugby Central: Modernised the car park with a ticketless ANPR system, supporting easy town-centre parking and greener, more efficient operations.

  • 9 Yards: Introduced automated payments and smart enforcement, delivering a frictionless parking experience while simplifying operations behind the scenes.

These partnerships reflect our mission to make parking simple, fair, and automated for drivers, and efficient and profitable for site owners.

Events and Engagements

This year, Hozah was thrilled to connect with partners, clients, and industry leaders at some of the UK’s most exciting events. From the Annual Hospitality Conference, where we shared insights on parking for hotels and leisure venues, to GRO Retail 2025, celebrating innovation in shopping centre parking, our team demonstrated how the Hozah Ecosystem is transforming operations and experiences.

We also joined the Hotel & Resort Innovation Expo 2025, met hospitality professionals exploring smarter parking solutions, and celebrated sporting and cultural highlights including the Goodwood Festival of Speed, F1 at Silverstone, and key Rugby League and World Cup qualifiers, supporting venues with seamless parking solutions during high-traffic events.

What Our Partners Say

The success of 2025 wouldn’t have been possible without the trust and collaboration of our partners. Feedback this year highlights the tangible impact Hozah brings to sites of all sizes:

  • Martin Property Group praised improvements in revenue and operational efficiency.

  • Frasers Group highlighted the value of a partnership focused on performance and innovation.

  • Ellandi shared how Hozah transformed parking from an operational necessity into a profit-driving asset.

These testimonials reinforce what we’ve seen throughout the year: when parking is smarter and simpler, drivers, operators, and communities all benefit.
