The company is targeting [NHS trusts](https://www.kerbway.com/solutions/nhs/), [local authorities](https://www.kerbway.com/solutions/local-authorities/) and [property developers](https://www.kerbway.com/solutions/developers/) with a technology-enabled service designed to cut the cost and emissions of business travel. Kerbway’s proposition is simple: make existing vehicles bookable, keyless and shared, without requiring organisations to replace their fleets or invest in expensive new infrastructure. Kerbway runs an [asset-light model](https://www.kerbway.com/about/): it owns no vehicles, and provides the technology and service that let organisations share the ones they own or lease. Its platform combines mobile booking, [keyless access](https://www.kerbway.com/news/keyless-access-phone-as-car-key/), automated driver licence checks and fleet management information to make shared vehicles convenient for users and easier for organisations to manage. ## Three markets, one opportunity For NHS trusts, Kerbway offers an alternative to expensive [employee mileage reimbursement](https://www.kerbway.com/news/what-is-grey-fleet/) and taxi journeys, while improving [duty of care](https://www.kerbway.com/news/duty-of-care-staff-own-cars/) and access to safe, modern vehicles. For local authorities, the opportunity extends beyond reducing fleet costs and emissions. Vehicles used during working hours could also be made available to [communities outside normal operating hours](https://www.kerbway.com/compare/when-your-car-club-leaves/), creating potential additional revenue. For property developers, Kerbway provides managed shared mobility services that can reduce parking demand and improve the sustainability of residential and mixed-use developments. Such schemes may also help developers meet transport-related [Section 106 planning obligations](https://www.kerbway.com/resources/s106-car-club-checklist/), where shared mobility measures form part of an agreed planning arrangement. ## The founders and the plan Kerbway’s three founders have more than 85 years’ experience between them. Marc Roberts, CEO, brings more than 20 years’ technology leadership experience, including a decade leading car-sharing technology businesses. George Webb, Chief Revenue Officer, has over 35 years’ experience in fleet management and commercial leadership. Rachel Percival, Chief Customer and Operating Officer, brings 30 years’ experience in customer experience and operational management. > I’ve spent years building car-sharing technology, and schemes succeed or fail on the details: how easy it is to book, whether the car is there when you need it, and whether anyone can see what it costs. Kerbway is built around getting those right, on the vehicles an organisation already runs. > > Marc Roberts, CEO of Kerbway The £500,000 raised will fund the launch and the first customer pilots, the first stage of a five-year growth plan. ## Five founding pilot partners wanted Kerbway is now inviting five organisations to join its founding pilot programme, with particular interest in NHS trusts, local authorities and property developers. For [public sector organisations](https://www.kerbway.com/resources/public-sector-fleet-sharing-buyers-guide/), typical pilots will involve approximately 10 vehicles over 12 months, with performance measured against agreed cost, utilisation, duty-of-care and emissions objectives. Property developer pilots will focus on providing convenient shared transport for residents and occupiers, supporting sustainable travel and reducing dependence on private-car ownership. Organisations interested in becoming one of Kerbway’s five founding pilot partners are invited to [make contact](https://www.kerbway.com/contact/). ## About Kerbway Founded in 2026 and headquartered in the UK, Kerbway provides the technology and service layer that turns the pool fleets of businesses, councils, NHS trusts and universities into smart, app-based shared fleets that replace grey-fleet mileage. Drivers verify once, then find, book and unlock vehicles from their phone; organisations keep control of their vehicles, owned or leased, their data and full reporting on utilisation, cost and CO2\. Unlike traditional car clubs, Kerbway owns no vehicles, so vehicles cannot be withdrawn if an operator's economics change. **Media enquiries:** see the [press page](https://www.kerbway.com/press/) or contact [hello@kerbway.com](mailto:hello@kerbway.com). ## More news - Blog ## [Who holds the duty of care when staff drive their own cars?](https://www.kerbway.com/news/duty-of-care-staff-own-cars/) A staff car on a work trip counts as a place of work.
