6Meet & GreetFor a large number of our customers their car is likely to be the second most valuable thing that they own,behind their house. Our customers entrust their car to MAG, Stansted Airport, Meet and Greet and, mostimportantly, to you the individual driver. People have an emotional bond to their car and can become upset thatwe adjust seats, mirrors and heating controls (basic Health & Safety requirements). So it is not surprising thatour customers will analyse tracker data and dashcam footage of a vehicle’s time with Meet & Greet looking forpotential mistreatment of their car. Remember you are not a stunt driver, test driver or racing driver and are nothere to assess the performance or any other aspects of a vehicle. Imagine the passenger seat of the vehicle isoccupied by the customer during the time you are responsible for it. What would they expect to see from you? THE SKILLS ANDBEHAVIOURS THAT DELIVER OPERATIONALEXCELLENCESmooth acceleration, confidentgear changes, smoothprogressive braking, adherence toall speed limits and neatconfident and competent parking.If you spend any length of timeworking for MAG you will very likely be asked to driveperformance vehicles from a variety of manufacturers. This isa privilege of the job but does not mean that youshould drive these cars any differently to a small familyhatchback.Within your role there is atargeted number of car movements per hour. Drivers whoachieve these targets do not do so by driving quickly,they achieve this by managing their time on footbetween car movements well.
“I know what thekey master does andwhy it is importantwe do our bitproperly and don’tcreate problems foreach other”7TEAM WORKThroughout your shift you will interact with the marshals and the key room numerous times.This is why we know that fostering and driving Teamwork issuch a crucial part of everyone’s role. Teamwork means thatpeople will co-operate and collaborate, using their individualskills and providing constructive feedback, despite anypotential conflict between individuals.The Meet and Greet operation is an intricate flow of customer,cars and keys through different stages of the customer journey. It is crucial that you recognise you’re a crucial part of ‘one team’,understanding the impact of what you do and how that affectsyour colleagues.

Service Quality13MEET & GREETDRIVINGThe role of a Meet & Greet driver is to safely and efficiently move customers’ vehicles to and from storage carparks, to return zones for customers to collect. The driver is responsible for making sure each vehicle he/she drives is moved safely. The driver is also responsible for recording key information regarding the vehicle before it is moved to storage. The information a driver will record is the current mileage, the fuel level and any visible damage to the vehicle.The driver moves the vehicle to storage and brings another vehicle back that is due to be picked up that day. The driver must write down where the vehicle has been parked on the key tag with the initials of the driver and the date it was moved. When a driver returns a customer’s vehicle to the Meet & Greet returns area, the driver will write where the vehicle has been parked on the key tag and hand back the key and the key tag to the Key Master.The driver will carry out this process for the duration of his/her shift unless given different instructions from the Key Master.

M&G DRIVER TIPS 23
TIPS The information you put on these tags are important when you are Parking a vehicle in storage: Storage CP = The car park you have parked it in e.g. Zulu, 600, Delta Location in CP = This is the lane/location you have parked in e.g. A1006 Location (return movement) = When bringing the car back to the M&G yardyou will park the car in Ruby, Sapphire or Emerald. This is where you writethat location on the tag, reception will tell this location to the customerwhen they collect their car, so it needs to be accurate. e.g. EM106, RU04 &SA76. Our damage tag is a key part of our process and will be attached to the customer'skey from the moment the vehicle is checked in, until the customer comes to collectit, and the vehicle is checked out.

TIPSBLOCK PARKING26Zulu is located at the very far end of the long stay car park. Named Zulu as it wasoriginally zone ‘Z’ of the long stay car park. It is divided into two separate areas andare all individually numbered; Zulu North – Zones A-G – Lanes 2001-2254 Zulu South – Zones H-J – Lanes 3001-3184 This site is divided into zones these zones are A-N. Zones A-L containindividually numbered lanes. All the even numbered lanes face away from theexit and all odd numbered lanes face the exit. This parking method enablesvehicles to be parked tightly on the passenger side but with sufficient room tobe able to exit the car into the ‘walking lane’ from the drivers side. Zones M &N are referred to as ‘SINBIN’ (S/B) where we park the left hand drive cars, longstayers, short stayers and oversized vehicles e.g. trucks, caravans and largevans (unless advised to use Long Stay Zone D/E – green tag). We use a system called ‘block parking’ in both of our main car parks, Site 600 andZulu. We use ‘block parking’ to give us the chance to increase the potential parkingcapacity by up to 25%. Zulu Site 600
TIPSWHICH LANE TO PARK IN?Zulu, Zone E, Lane 2198 Site 600, Zone A, Lane 1011 Each lane is allocated to a specific return date and time slot. This allocation isprinted on the key tag label when the customer checks in. See the allocation in thepicture below. After arriving in Zulu or Site 600 firstly, locate the lane number (painted on thefloor). If your lane is painted in the RED then DO NOT enter the lane and drivearound to the other side of the lane to find the arrow. Once located, drive the carslowly (walking pace – 4mph) down the lane to avoid kicking up any stones andavoiding the risk of damaging any other vehicles. DO NOT drive/park on the ropesas the previous photo shows.IF YOUR ALLOCATED LANE IS FULL THEN CONTACT THE KEYROOM TO GET ANEW LANE A same day booking will notleave our M&G yard. It will gostraight to a return bay inRuby/Emerald/Sapphire A 1-2 day booking/staywill not be block parkedand may go to Delta/600S/B 27

TIPS31MEET & GREET YARDThe Meet & Greet yard is the face of our operation. It is where the guests will dropoff their vehicles, walk to reception and be checked in. Our guests will also collectfrom this yard and upon collection the receptionists will give them collection zoneand bay number - this makes it very clear and precises to where their car it.Yard marshals are responsible for this yard. They will greet the guests upon entryand direct them to park in the correct lane. When the guest comes for collection,they will also assist them with any issues they may have e.g. cannot find their car ora flat battery.
TIPS32VEHICLE HINTS & TIPSHandbrakes - As you get used to all the various vehicles that you will be driving atMeet & Greet, you will certainly find that parking brakes can cause you someoccasional confusion when trying to work them out. There are various methodsused by vehicle manufactures and sometimes they are not always consistent. Hereare some of the most common ones: This is the most common EPB (electronic parkingbrake) and is usually found on the car makes, Ford,Vauxhall, VW & Porsche. Look out for it in the centreconsole, press the brake pedal and the switch downto release the handbrake. This EPB is located on the right side of thedashboard next to the steering wheel. Thisstyle is most common in Mercedes and olderVW’s This is a parking brake which is located downby the pedals of the car. You press the pedaldown with your foot to release and then againto engage.
TIPS33Automatics - Automatics are becoming increasingly popular and you will see manyof them during your time as a driver. Just remember, left foot braking is dangerous!Many automatics can have paddles for changing the gears manually on the steeringwheel, leave these alone. Here are two typical types of automatic gear selectors,just check as one may be on the side of the steering wheel:Keyless Fobs - Many modern vehicles will not need an ignition key and will start byholding down the start/stop button, although some older models will require you toinsert the key fob into a slot on the dashboardStart/Stop buttons - Some cars will use a button to start the ignition. If so, pressthe clutch (or brake pedal if the vehicle is an automatic) then press the button tostart the car.Electric/Hybrid Cars - Most electric vehicles have a rotary dial for gear selection.As there is no engine, when the vehicle is on you will see ‘READY’ appear in greenon the instrument cluster – the vehicle is ready to drive. When parking ahybrid/electric vehicle up in storage please make sure to switch off themotor/engine, remember to check the dashboard for a 'READY' message, thismeans the vehicle is still on.
TIPS34COLOURED TAGSReceptionist will place coloured tags on the key to signify something. See belowwhat each tag represents:Yellow – Note e.g. PIN to drive, driver windowdoes not go down. Read this tag! Blue – Passenger with reduced mobility (PRM). If youare bringing this car back from storage, then park thisclose to the reception (Sapphire 69-72)Green– Vehicle is oversized. Park this vehicle in Long-Stay Zones D & E. Alternatively listen out from theadditional instruction from the key master.
