Manchester Airport Parking How It All Began With Males Garage

Males Garage was the first Manchester Airport Parking Company at Manchester but what follows is the story of how Manchester Parking was born and how it has evolved over the years.
From the cinder area of yester year to the huge industry it is today.
1953 and 1954 were massive years for Manchester as they started to operate cutting edge aircraft such as the Convair liners and flying out to more European destinations.
Long haul aircraft such as the DC-6 started to turn up in ever increasing numbers as air traffic increased at Manchester.
Manchesters terminals by 1954 were expanding at a phenomenal rate as passenger figures reached approximately two hundred and fifty thousand.
Three months after officially changing its name to Manchester Airport they reached their one-millionth passenger who incidentally travelled to the glamorous destination of the Isle of Man.
All this growth at Manchester saw an increase in motor traffic and an opening for the first Manchester Airport car park.
One young person was about to fill this gap.
Jack Males the owner of Males Garage, an ex serviceman who had recently returned home to Wythenshawe opened up a small tractor repair company a short distance away from Manchester Airport not knowing the opportunity that was about to come his way.
As well as the rapid growth of Manchester, Males Tractor Services also expanded and branched out into plant hire and construction work.
During this expansion of both businesses people would travel from Manchester and at the time the car parking at Manchester consisted of nothing more than a small cinder area close to the terminal with the capacity for only fifty cars.
Upon their return travellers would have problems starting their vehicles so naturally went looking for help at the nearest place possible.
Luckily for Jack Males and Males Garage they were the closest, so benefited from this extra trade by starting vehicles and providing small repairs.
This simple act of help would revolutionise the Manchester Airport Parking industry, as we know it today.
Males Garage car storage was born, offering a secure alternative to the standard cinder path that was previously used, as well as still offering the convenience of being close to the airport.
Over the years Males Garage went from strength to strength and for fifty-three years have been at the top of the parking food chain offering excellent customer service resulting in many customers returning year after year.
It was inevitable that during those fifty three years Males Garage could not possibly continue to be the only off airport Manchester Parking provider and other companies started to spring up to keep up with the growth of Manchester Airport and its ever increasing passenger list.
Despite this ever increasing growth in off airport parking companies Males Garage continued to operate and saw so many smaller companies come and go.
In 2007 a minimum of twenty two million people passed through Manchester Airport with still more to come.
Manchester Airport decided they wanted the land where Males Garage stood and after fifty-three years of trading made Jack Males of Males garage an offer he could not refuse.
I am sure all of the other Manchester Airport Parking companies in the area who have grown businesses as a result of Jacks insight all them years ago would like to say a huge thank you to Jack for the birth of Manchester Airport Parking as we know it today.
