For AI developers and data buyers.
McKays works with businesses in the UK and the Republic of Ireland that hold years of real working records: quotes, emails, drawings, job files and the decisions behind them.
What we focus on
- Linked records from small and medium-sized businesses, often closing or closed, across construction, engineering, logistics, professional services and more. See sectors.
- Records the business created through its own work, with rights and authority checked case by case. See trust and rights.
- Digital records only.
Example data card
To show the kind of description we work with, here is a fictional example. It is not a real archive, not something we hold, and not available.
FICTIONAL EXAMPLE, NOT INVENTORY
| Business | Imaginary steel fabricator, about 40 staff, Scotland |
|---|---|
| Years | 2011 to 2022 (example only) |
| Record families | Quotes and take-offs, customer email threads, CAD drawings with revisions, job sheets, delivery notes, non-conformance reports |
| Links between records | Job numbers tie quote → drawing revision → job sheet → delivery → invoice |
| Formats | PDF, DWG, XLSX, EML |
| Size | Illustrative only: a few hundred thousand files |
| Likely exclusions | HR and payroll, client-owned designs, personal contact details |
| Status | Rights, authority and handling still to be agreed |
How terms work
There are no standard or default licence terms. Scope, permitted uses, exclusivity, duration, preparation, delivery, payment and what happens at the end of the licence are agreed in writing for each deal, with the business that owns the records. An NDA is not a licence. See how licensing works.
