limpers cars 
no full timers on that kind of money 
Can only be expected considering its on what was water logged for years,as history goes somewhere under that plot of land is a digger or bulldozer that sank and disappeared and was never retrieved.

and there’ll be a sign up somewhere saying that cars are parked at owners risk, Stobart’s accept no responsibility…

trouble is they cant enforce that,i had my side window of my car smashed a few years ago when winds blew part of the companies roof over the car park,they paid out for the damage to mine and others,they had these signs up but drivers threatened court action after looking into it

This happened last week from what i know
some of that water has probably seeped into the cars interiors,not nice to come back to after a week away[presuming they are drivers cars]
Most of the drivers car parks at Stobart depots are scrappy pothole ridden crap.
Whilst the office staff have an immaculate tarmac job. Knobs.
From the horse’s mouth… As soon as it became clear that cars could be water damaged, they HAND WROTE a sign to the effect of “we hold no responsibility for damage to cars etc etc” and put it up in the car park.
Utter knobs.

If that is true then it is contemptible and an appalling way to act. If my car was damaged whilst parked on company property and they refused to pay I’d make the decision that I no longer wanted to work for said company. My resignation letter would be in the form of parking my unit in a lake or river!
Reckon most might be lucky there and just about get away without any damage. Could have easily got a whale tanker in to get it down to a reasonable level very negligent on the part of Stobarts. I’m almost certain a court would agree that if an employer is providing parking they must take reasonable steps to ensure it is safe and secure which clearly they haven’t.

Most will tell you that you park in their car park at your own risk.

Ours is spot on to be fair, parked in it for god knows how long and never had any issues

Ours have that up. I heard a while back that someone let a unit roll into some of the office mob’s cars causing some damage. I wonder if the company paid out, I remember overhearing a woman’s who’s car got hit saying her insurance company was demanding our mob to pay out.
More fool the idiots that have no backbone, and continue to work for them I say.

A disclaimer, even a signed one, doesn’t legally give a party carte blanche to behave negligently though.
As an example, understandably, companies may not want to be paying for car repairs if one driver clips another driver’s car in the car park and drives off without owning up to it. They might fairly reasonably say the driver will just have to claim on their own insurance. However, if the company stacked a load of pallets stupidly high next to the car park and it fell over on the cars a court would likely rule the company had behaved negligently and therefore lost the protection of the disclaimer.
