1st October 2026, Basingstoke, Great Britain - HUB Parking Technology and Electro Automation Group have today announced the next phase of their long-standing relationship, strengthening their strategic partnership across Great Britain.
Electro Automation has been HUB Parking Technology’s sole and exclusive distributor in the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland for decades, representing HUB Parking Technology and the wider FAAC Group. This long-standing relationship has established a strong and trusted partnership between the two organisations.
From 1 October, Electro Automation Group’s role as HUB Parking Technology’s sole and exclusive authorised distributor will expand to include Great Britain. Working closely with HUB’s regional and global teams, Electro Automation will provide sales, project delivery, installation, commissioning, maintenance and technical support to customers across England, Scotland and Wales.
The partnership brings together HUB’s established parking technology portfolio with Electro Automation’s engineering capability, technical expertise and extensive experience supporting parking customers across Ireland and Northern Ireland.
Existing customers will continue to work with experienced teams they know and trust, while gaining access to the wider resources and capabilities of Electro Automation Group and its 300-strong team. Customers will also continue to benefit from HUB Parking Technology’s ongoing investment in parking technology and innovation.
Together, HUB and Electro will support customers as the parking sector continues to evolve, with growing demand for digital technology, connected mobility and increasingly seamless parking experiences.
A Shared Vision for Growth
The expanded partnership reflects a shared ambition to build on the strengths and experience of both organisations. By combining global parking technology with established engineering expertise, experienced people and strong customer relationships, HUB and Electro are well positioned to support customers and continued growth across Great Britain and Ireland.
“Reliable solutions and support are essential to successful parking environments,” said Renato Ridella, Chief Divisional Officer of HUB Parking. “That’s why having a trusted, responsive local partner matters. Electro Automation brings the service quality, regional knowledge, and hands-on support our customers rely on, making this partnership expansion the right step at the right time. The UK market continues to be a key focus for HUB's long-term growth strategy, and this partnership evolution allows us to serve customers with even greater proximity while maintaining the innovation and expertise that define HUB worldwide.”
Electro Automation has built a strong reputation as a locally established partner with an in-depth understanding of the operational requirements of parking owners and operators across the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland.
Paddy Doherty, Chairman, Electro Automation Group, said “Our relationship with HUB Parking Technology and its predecessor brands spans more than 40 years, including our long-standing association with ZEAG. Today, Electro continues to grow across Ireland, Great Britain and Europe, supporting increasingly complex projects in data centres, stadia, commercial developments and critical infrastructure. As we enter this next phase with HUB, we will bring the same customer-first ethos, high standards of service and commitment to long-term relationships that have been at the heart of Electro for more than 40 years. This next phase builds on that heritage, strengthens our capabilities and creates further opportunities for our people and customers, under the leadership of our Group CEO Lynn Murray. This is an exciting opportunity to strengthen customer support and drive further growth across Great Britain and Ireland.”
Chris Hawkins, General Manager, who previously served as UK General Manager for HUB Parking Technology and will continue to lead the GB Parking Team at Electro UK, said: “Having worked closely with both organisations for many years, I have seen first-hand the strengths each brings to our customers. Bringing these experienced teams together creates an exciting opportunity to combine outstanding parking technology with outstanding local engineering expertise. Our focus remains exactly where it has always been: supporting our customers, building trusted relationships and delivering the technical expertise they rely on every day. I am incredibly excited about what we can achieve together.”
For customers across Great Britain and Ireland, this next phase brings together HUB Parking Technology’s global innovation and market-leading solutions with Electro Automation Group’s engineering expertise, experienced teams and project delivery capabilities. Together, this creates a stronger platform to support customers, develop new solutions and drive long-term growth across the parking sector.
