Ex-quantity surveyor William Doyle founded Gather in 2016, formerly known as RailDiary.

"I built Gather because I was sick and tired of terrible, terrible records"

Our story started when aspiring quantity surveyor William Doyle joined the construction industry in 2011. Very quickly, Will became frustrated by poor site records. He couldn't do his job properly without this key piece of intelligence. His frustration reached boiling point when he was in charge of substantiating change for a £60 million scheme at a tier one contractor with patchy paper site diaries.

It was at this moment that Will decided to make establishing consistent, quality record-keeping in UK construction his cause.  Will built the prototype for Raildiary with experienced tech entrepreneur Paul Clegg in 2016, onboarding contractors and asset owners in rail. In 2024, we rebranded Raildiary as Gather to include more sectors — highways, water, aviation, hospitals, energy and many more.
