Our History
Friends Reunited was launched in 2000 as the back-bedroom hobby of a husband and wife team in North London. The site quickly became a British media phenomenon, growing from two million members in its first year, to over 24 million registered members today. In 2003, sister site Genes Reunited was created to allow members an easy way to search for their ancestors online.
Two years later, Friends Reunited was sold to ITV and in 2008, the site became completely free for the first time. A range of social features were subsequently launched to help people share and express the important things in their life with family, friends and classmates. In 2010, brightsolid Online Innovation acquired the Friends Reunited Group, integrating Friends Reunited into its strong online portfolio of sites where people go to search their past, share their story and connect with people and places.
