VALET PARKING COMPANY HOLDS “OLYMPICS” COMPETITION

Advanced Parking Concepts, LLC (APC) a New Jersey based Valet Parking Service Company, held its inaugural Valet Olympics on Sunday, March 22, 2009 in Verona New Jersey. Advanced Parking Concepts is a member of the National Valet Parking Association (NVPA), an organization dedicated to promoting the professionalism and integrity within the valet parking community and to educate clients about the benefits realized by working members of the association.

The purpose of The NVPA Valet Olympics is to find the best valets within the member companies of the NVPA by evaluating the skills and experience of each employee. All eligible valets have been employed for at least 6 months, have had no infractions on their record for the last 6 months, and uphold and maintain the high standards of our company.

Ninety sharply dressed and motivated employees were greeted by Ellis M. Dumont, Chief Executive Officer of APC. The tone was set as Team Captains and drivers prepared their strategies for competition. Each team was eager to showcase their talent in the Key Jumble, a relay style event where 4 team members had to locate, drive and retrieve a vehicle quickly while operating under 10 mph. After a close competition, the team of Darrin Smith, Sohail Sharifsuliman, Lofti Bassa, Johnathan Fernandez, and Jose Torrealba negotiated the course flawlessly, and were in first place after the Key Jumble. Next, the Individual Maneuvering Event was used to determine the most skilled driver within the ranks of APC. Nenil Mathurin, a veteran APC employee, was able to dominate the field on a difficult driving course in just 53 seconds, a company best time. Nenil was recognized with the 2009 ”APC’s Best Driver Award” for his skill and efficiency during the Individual Manuevering Competition. Next it was on to the Slalom, an event where each team of drivers navigated a relay through a series strategically placed cones. This event highlighted not only APC employees’ skills as drivers, but the company’s high safety standardsas well. After a challenging set of evnts, the employees were anxious to find out which four teams would be heading into the next round. You could feel the excitement as the teams were announced in the following order:

1st Place- Harrison Park Towers in East Orange, New Jersey, lead by Kishan Smith
2nd Place-Supervisor Team in Verona, New Jersey, lead by Darrin Smith
3rd Place-Crystal Plaza in Livingston, New Jersey, lead by Carlos Raigosa
4th Place-Claridge House 1 in Verona, New Jersey, lead by Angel Cailahua

The top team of employees in the Regional Final will move on to compete in the National Finals in Phoenix, Arizona in November 2009.

There were no losers on this day, as each employee left with a sense of company pride and competition. The high morale, professionalism, and dedication of each employee is a testament to APC’s commitment to creating the “perfect first and last impression since 1985.”
