Minuteman Parking moved into our new office in El Segundo this month.  Less than one mile from the ocean, the new offices are close to downtown El Segundo and the 105 and 405 Freeways.

According to Chris Fox, President of Minuteman Parking:

We had been at our old offices for more than 5 years and with our recent growth, we were nearly busting at the seams.  Our new location in El Segundo projects a more professional image, plus it is centrally located for our employees.  We have the room we need now for offices and storage, plus plenty of room to grow.

Controller Wilson Tang had this to offer:

I think the new setup is more conducive to working and it has already made the finance team more organized and productive.  Plus, the location is close to El Porto which is one of the best surf spots in the South Bay.

There are some new amenities in the office too.  For example, there is a large lunchroom with a flat screen TV and couch where employees can relax.  The lunchroom will double as a training facility.  In Chris’ office, there is also a large conference room where employees can collaborate on projects.  In addition, there is much more space to prominently display the Boston sports memorabilia that Chris has collected over the years, but the Wheaties boxes have not yet made an appearance.

Minuteman Parking's Newest Customer

The mission statement for St. Jude Medical Center in Fullerton states:

To extend the healing ministry of Jesus in the tradition of the Sisters of St. Joseph of Orange by continually improving the health and quality of life of the people in the communities we serve

Starting today, Minuteman Parking will be helping St. Jude reach their mission by providing a shuttle operation to deliver employees and patients to their destinations more efficiently and safely, and by providing Lane Ambassadors who will help introduce their new pay-in-lane parking equipment.

St. Jude joins the growing trend of medical facilities that are using parking and valet solutions to improve both patient and visitor satisfaction along with improving “patient flow”.  These services also have an added side benefit of improving safety for all patients, visitors and employees.

St. Jude Medical Center is the latest member in the family of medical facilities served by Minuteman Parking.  We also added Little Company of Mary Medical Center in June and Children’s Hospital of Orange County (CHOC) in April.  In addition,  we also provide parking services at Hoag Hospital, St. Joseph Hospital of Orange and Newport Lido Medical Center in Orange County, the Loma Linda Medical Center in Loma Linda and St. Bernardine Medical Center in San Bernardino.

Minuteman Parking Manager Ron Machón received a special “Recognition to Service Excellence” award from the Torrance Marriott recently.  Only four associates from each property are recognized each quarter, and Ron was the only vendor recognized for his efforts.

“Exceptional customer service is one of the cornerstones for Minuteman Parking and it is wonderful that one of our employees is recognized for his efforts by one of our customers.  This award is a tribute to the hard work and dedication to customer service that Ron brings to everything he does,” says Minuteman Parking President Chris Fox.

Ron just completed his 1-year anniversary at the Torrance Marriott in May.  However, Ron has been working for Minuteman Parking since 2004 when he started out as a valet at the Marina Del Rey Marriott while attending college.  Ron graduated from Cal State Long Beach in 2007 with a BS degree, majoring in criminal justice and minoring in Human Development.  In his spare time, Ron enjoys riding motorcycles.

Congratulations Ron and keep up the great effort!

In the October newsletter for St. Bernardine Medical Center in San Bernardino, Minuteman Parking is highlighted as having a positive impact on patient satisfaction.

Here is what Kimberlee Prokopij, patient satisfaction coordinator, said about Minuteman Parking’s valet parking service:

“By the amount and tone of patient feedback we’ve received so far, the free valet parking seems to be having a very positive impact.”

The hospital began offering free valet parking service though Minuteman Parking in June, and more than 90 visitors use the service each day.  The free valet parking proves how important it is to provide patients and visitors with a great first impression even before they enter the building.

St. Bernardine is a 463-bed non-profit acute care hospital that is part of the Catholic Healthcare West (CHW) system.

While we were building the new website, we took a number of pictures that ultimately were used in the new site.

Thank you to all of our employees who help make Minuteman Parking a great company! We hope to include more employee pictures in the future.

Welcome to Minuteman Parking’s new blog.

As part of our website re-design, we have added a blog and news feature so we can keep you updated on the latest happenings in the Minuteman Parking world.  The management team intends to write a post or include a news item on a weekly basis, so check back frequently for new updates.

Some other new features of our new website include:

• Updated logo and color scheme - We have updated the Minuteman logo so the Patriot is holding a flag which seems more appropriate.  Plus we continue to reinforce our patriotic theme with a red, white and blue color scheme.
• Focus on our key business lines - The updated website highlights our key business lines of Hotels, Medical Facilities and Special Events.  We have included customer testimonials on each page and have provided a summary list of our customers on the the About Us page.
• New management bios - We have added management bios for all key employees.  In addition, we have included email addresses to make it easier to contact us directly.
• Videos - We have uploaded three new videos to the site to take advantage of the power of demonstrating our capabilities visually.  Two of the videos focus on our primary business lines of Hotels and Medical Facilities, and the third video shows what it is like to work at Minuteman.
• New forms - We have made it easier for our customers and prospects to contact us through the use of forms which are linked on every page.  The forms include a request for more information, a request for a quote and a form to provide customer feedback.

Our site was designed by the executionists in Marina Del Rey, and we think they did a great job capturing our message and our “Commitment to Excellence”.

Please take some time to explore our new website and feel free to send us your feedback.
