About fettle;

fettle is the UK’s fastest growing bike repair and service business. Part of the JustPark family, fettle was set up with the ambition to provide city wide networks of service locations across the whole of the UK. Our mission is to repurpose under-utilised spaces (warehouses, shops, car parks) so that we can offer a convenient place for bicycles of all forms to be serviced and repaired. Today, there are too few places for repairs and this problem will grow as more people use the trusty bicycle.

We are hugely enthusiastic about cycling and care deeply about helping people to travel around inner-cities without harming the environment. Having successfully opened several London locations, we have big plans! The business is in hyper growth so this is a rare opportunity to join from the beginning and help shape our future.  

Cyclists using the fettle service will have access to:

• Super-Convenient, Central Locations: As our network of locations grows we will provide full city coverage.
• Handy Collection Service: We believe customers want convenience and if that means we need to collect and drop off the bike, we will.
• Smooth, Simple Technology: As well as being into our bikes we are also tech geeks and believe we have the right knowledge to build an awesome platform which is easy for cyclists to use and helps mechanics work smartly and efficiently
• Quality Services: Not only are our mechanics the best in-class, we are a friendly company who is obsessed with giving our customers unbeatable services using great new technology
