CPS was judged to be one of the top three companies in the supplier of the year to the global cruise industry category.
The company is part of the Independent Port Handling (IPH) group, which also includes Pathfinder and port terminal operators Southampton Cargo Handling. Pathfinder regularly supplies personnel to CPS.
IPH Business Development Manager Lee Davis commented: “We are continually looking to improve the cruise experience for passengers and being named as one of the top suppliers in the industry reflects the latest technical advances that we have introduced.”
CPS is the UK’s leading valet parking company for serving cruise ship passengers and has further improved its services by upgrading bespoke hardware and software systems used by operatives at each of its ports.
CPS has operations at Southampton, Liverpool, Portsmouth and Oban in Scotland, ensuring the safe keeping of some 75,000 cars while passengers are away.
