PayByPhone Promotes Rebecca Maisey to UK Managing Director to Accelerate Market Strategy

PayByPhone, a global leader in mobile parking payments, announced the promotion of Rebecca Maisey to UK Managing Director from 1 July 2026. She will continue to report directly to PayByPhone’s President and Chief Executive Officer, Jonny Combe.

Maisey, who has been with PayByPhone for 15 years, steps into the role after successfully serving as the company’s UK Commercial Director. In her new position, she assumes full strategic and operational leadership of the UK business. The appointment marks the return of the UK Managing Director role to the company's organizational structure to champion localized expansion and technological innovation.

"Rebecca is an exceptional leader whose deep industry expertise and long-standing dedication to our clients make her the perfect person to lead our UK operations," says Combe. "Having risen through our ranks for 15 years, she embodies the culture and ambition of PayByPhone. I am incredibly confident that under her guidance, the UK business will continue to thrive, innovate and deliver world-class digital payment experiences for our users."

Maisey's journey with PayByPhone began in November 2011 when she joined as a Client Account Executive. Over the next decade and a half, she played an instrumental role in the company's rapid growth, rising through positions including Client Account Manager, Senior Client Manager, Head of Client Management, and Senior Client Director. Her outstanding contributions to the sector were recognized industry-wide when she won the inaugural Inspirational Woman in Parking award at the British Parking Association’s (BPA) People in Parking Awards.

Maisey says, "I am absolutely thrilled to take on the role of UK Managing Director at such a pivotal time for our business and the wider parking sector. As the UK parking landscape continues to evolve, my priorities are clear: accelerating PayByPhone’s growth under Lightyear Capital’s stewardship, deepening our client partnerships, and ensuring PayByPhone remains the app of choice for both motorists and parking operators. Having been part of PayByPhone's journey since its early days in the UK, I have seen first-hand how our technology simplifies journeys for drivers and been proud to play my part in that growth."

Under Maisey’s leadership, PayByPhone in the UK will focus on expanding its digital payment ecosystem, which includes parking, EV charging, and fuel finder services, while also helping local authorities and private operators navigate evolving infrastructure frameworks.
