Company · Our Story
We use what we sell.
Radley Labs began with a simple problem: we needed software for a running events business and nothing on the market quite fit. So we built our own.
Origin
Built inside a business that needed it.
Founded inside Radley, we set out to build the platform our sister business — >tempo — would run on. Race registration, wave allocation, pacing data, athlete progression, sponsor reporting, event-day operations. Off-the-shelf tools could cover parts of it. None of them covered all of it well.
So we built our own.
That platform is now the backbone of every >tempo race we put on. Every entrant registered, every wave allocated, every sponsor metric reported, runs on software Radley built. We don’t talk about hypothetical capability — we point to a live business we operate using the same tools we sell.
That experience taught us something the consultancy market doesn’t say out loud: the businesses that need bespoke software the most are usually the ones least equipped to manage a long, expensive build. They need senior delivery, fast results, and people who understand what it means to run a business — not just write code for one.
Radley Labs exists to be that team for them.
Proof in production
Every >tempo race runs on Radley.
The same stack we ship to clients powers a real business with real entrants, real sponsors and real event-day pressure.

The problem
Off-the-shelf tools could cover parts of what >tempo needed. None of them covered all of it well.

So we built our own
A custom platform for race registration, wave allocation, pacing data, sponsor reporting and event-day ops — owned and operated by Radley.

Then we opened the doors
The same senior team, the same delivery model, now available to other operators who’ve outgrown the off-the-shelf stack.
How we fit in
Two divisions that sharpen each other.
Radley Labs is part of Radley, alongside >tempo. Radley is a UK holding company building two complementary businesses: a community-rooted running events brand and the technology consultancy that powers it.
