There does seem to be a growing number of repair groups in the UK (and certainly in Devon!). Of course, we can only objectively measure the number registered on the platform. As Janet said, the number is rising:
Number of repair groups in the UK registered on Restarters/Fixometer in the last 2 years (cumulative)
Not all groups contribute data, although an increasing number do. One of the reasons we’re adding support for non-electricals (and other new developments) is to make the tool as useful as possible for individual groups and thereby encourage more to use it.
We’d welcome any suggestions for other things we can do or better ways the tool can be presented to groups that don’t use it yet!
What are the biggest barriers for you @Ian_Barnard?
