Reed in Partnership

Reed in Partnership: employment services and social support in the UK

Reed in Partnership is a British company dedicated to transforming people and communities through advice, employment, health, justice, training and youth support services. It is part of the Reed Group, the UK's largest family-owned recruitment group, founded in 1960 by Sir Alec Reed. The company was established in April 1998 in a single office in Hackney and was one of the first employment support service providers in the country.

Areas of activity

The company structures its offering around several services: advice, e-assessments, employment, health, justice, recruitment support, skills and training, and youth programmes. These services are designed to help people find work, improve their health, develop skills and reach their potential, often in challenging circumstances. The company also works with partners and conducts research on public policy.

History and corporate group

Since its creation, Reed in Partnership has expanded its activity throughout the UK and diversified its business across several sectors. According to its own presentation, hundreds of thousands of people across the country have benefited from its services. The company is part of the Reed Group, which also includes Reed.co.uk, a job board that receives more than 150 million visits annually. 18% of the group belongs to the Reed Foundation, created in 1986, which in 2007 funded the creation of Big Give, a platform that has raised over £280 million for more than 16,000 charity projects since 2008.
