Wyre Group · A UK data company
We start with the data.
We turn data that's hard to use into software for the mechanics, driving instructors and electricians who keep the country running.
4 products live · 30,000+ UK garages mapped · Fixaroo · Roadworthy · PartFerret · Certably
Britain writes down a remarkable amount about its cars, its parts and its wiring. Almost none of it arrives in a form you can use on a job. We do the slow work of making it usable, then build the tools on top.
What we've built
Four products. One data habit.
Each one does a single job for a single kind of customer. Underneath, each one runs on data we've already done the hard work of cleaning up.
Fixaroo
Find, book and pay a local garage you can trust.
Every garage joined to a live picture of the cars on the road: what each one is due, what it's failed, and what tends to go wrong next.
30,000+
UK garages mapped and profiled
-
Step 1
Type a registration
Any UK car, in a couple of seconds.
-
Step 2
Read its MOT history
Every test, advisory and mileage reading, in one place.
-
Step 3
Find who can fix it
Advisories are matched to local garages that do that work.
Example
Roadworthy
The whole driving school, run from an iPhone.
Works with Apple CarPlay
Every lesson turns into data: where each pupil is strong, where they stall, and how close they really are to passing.
-
Step 1
Plan the day
Lessons, pickups, and the best order to do them in.
-
Step 2
Drive the route
Pickup after pickup, on CarPlay, without touching the phone.
-
Step 3
Track every pupil
Progress against the driving test syllabus, lesson by lesson.
Example
PartFerret
A constantly refreshed index of used parts across the UK, and a growing map of which cars quietly share the same ones.
-
Step 1
Describe the part
Plain English. The car, and the bit you need.
-
Step 2
Agents search everywhere
Across the UK used-parts market, all at once.
-
Step 3
Keep what fits
Other models that share the part come in. Sold listings go out.
Example
Certably
The wiring regulations turned into something a phone can check, and a camera that reads a fuse board from a single photo.
Every certificate.
One app.
One subscription.
-
Step 1
Photograph the board
Point the camera at the consumer unit.
-
Step 2
The schedule builds itself
Circuits found and listed. Your test readings drop straight in.
-
Step 3
Sign it, send it
Sign on the glass. The PDF is gone before you've packed up.

ReadHow we work.
We're a data company that happens to make apps. That order matters to us.
Data first
We don't start with an app idea.
We start with information that's public, messy or scattered across a hundred websites, and ask who would get real use out of it if it were tidy.
4
Products, all live
6 apps across the web and the App Store.
Clean it once
Then use it everywhere.
Getting a dataset into shape is the slow part. Once it's done, any product that needs it can pick it up.
Built for small firms
Most of our customers work alone.
A mechanic, an instructor, an electrician. Their working day happens in a car or on a job, so that's where our software has to work.
All in-house
We write every line.
Data pipelines, web apps, iPhone and Android apps, payments. Same people, start to finish.

Building on the same data?
Investors, partners, and anyone sitting on a dataset nobody uses. We'd like to hear from you.
