ANSA Parking Consultants
ANSA PARKING CONSULTANTS · ABOUT

Two consultants. One vision. Unlimited potential.

ANSA is an independent consultancy for the UK parking sector, founded by Anne Bevis and Sara Fisher. Between them they bring decades of senior experience across regulation, compliance, operations, commercial strategy and public affairs — and a shared belief that good parking guidance should be practical, honest and entirely on your side.

The co-founders

Portrait of Anne Bevis

Anne Bevis

Co-Founder · Regulatory, Compliance & Policy

Anne spent several years as Technical Compliance Manager at the British Parking Association, supporting and guiding operators through the standards set out in the BPA Code of Practice. She contributed to the development of the sector’s single Code and the guidance documents that helped operators navigate the transition. She also led the design of the Approved Meet & Greet Parking Operator Scheme (AM-GO), building its Code of Practice and audit framework from the ground up. That work gave her a clear, practical view of how parking schemes work in real life, what good compliance looks like, and where operators most often need a steady hand.

Consultation runs through her career. She has drafted consultation questions, contributed to industry responses and sat on working groups shaping the standards the sector now operates under — giving her a clear sense of how good policy is built collaboratively rather than imposed.

She is equally at ease at the intersection of operations, data and technology — analysing KADOE request data to surface systemic patterns and working alongside developers to improve the systems operators rely on day to day.

Before the BPA, Anne worked on the operator side — hands-on with car park operations, complaints handling, tender writing and the legal recovery process. That mix of practical and regulatory experience means she’s equally at home with a frontline operator, a scheme administrator or a senior stakeholder.

Anne also brings board-level governance experience from her time as a trustee of a national membership charity, and holds the Certificate in Compliance from the International Compliance Association.

Sara Fisher

Co-Founder · Strategy, Operations & Public Affairs

Sara spent close to four years as Head of Operations and Business Development at the British Parking Association, leading the BPA’s membership, accreditation, training and commercial portfolios through one of the most active periods in the sector’s recent history. She led the UK audit team of nine, reported into the BPA Board through the Business Services and Accreditation Service Board, and held budget responsibility for a significant share of the association’s revenue.

At the BPA she devised, launched and scaled a series of new national schemes and accreditations — Park Mark Freight, Park Access (EV) and the Approved Meet & Greet Parking Operator Scheme (AM-GO) — each lifting standards in areas the industry had long needed to address. She also secured Motability Foundation endorsement for Park Access EV through a competitive bid, and collaboratively led the BPA to become a City & Guilds awarding body.

Sara is a regular voice for the parking sector at APPGs, government roundtables and Task and Finish Groups, and has worked closely with the Department for Transport, the Home Office, Police Crime Prevention Initiatives, NaVCIS, the National Police Chiefs’ Council and various charities. A media-trained spokesperson and keynote speaker, she’s at ease acting as a public face for the sector — and equally comfortable behind the scenes, mediating between regulators, operators and public bodies.

Before the BPA, Sara spent six years on the design-and-build side of parking — most recently as Commercial Manager (UK) at Ballast Nedam Parking, where she secured and delivered major multi-storey car park construction contracts that involved both private and public-sector procurement and complex stakeholder bids.

Sara’s rich knowledge of crime prevention, safety, accessibility and environmental aspects of parking infrastructure was established during this phase of her career and her earlier commercial roles within the construction sector.

Alongside her work with ANSA, Sara also leads the Supply Chain Risk Industry Partnership as an independent consultant — chairing a multi-stakeholder group of industry experts, trade associations, police and government departments working to mitigate cargo crime and raise secure freight-parking standards in the UK.
