Our history
Reed was founded on 7 May 1960, with the first office located on Kingsley Road, Hounslow, in West London. In the early 1960’s we pioneered specialist recruitment services; a move that fundamentally changed the UK recruitment market.
In 1995, Reed became the first branch-based recruitment firm in the UK to have a presence on the internet. Reed.co.uk is the UK’s number one digital recruitment service, being used by 85% of the UK’s top 100 recruitment firms.
Established in 2011, Reed Screening is independent from the operational recruitment network, supporting Reed’s success within the staffing and employment industry with an industry-leading range of pre-employment screening services.
