Our background

The UK’s largest family-owned recruitment brand

We are part of the Reed Group, the UK’s largest family-owned recruitment company. The Reed Group of companies was founded on 7th May 1960 when Sir Alec Reed, aged 26, opened his first Reed office in Hounslow with just £75.

Along with Reed in Partnership and Reed (our recruitment specialists), the Group also contains Reed.co.uk – the UK’s leading job board, which attracts more than 150 million visits every year.

We effectively work for charity one day a week, with 18% of the Reed Group owned by the Reed Foundation.

The Reed Foundation was established in 1985. In 2007, it funded the creation of Big Give. Since then, Big Give has helped to raise over £280 million for more than 16,000 charity projects since 2008.
