Reach, a publicly owned company headquartered in the UK, was founded in 1832 and employs approximately 2,180 individuals. The company reported $683.8M in revenue as of 2025. Functioning as a tier 2 media tech buyer, it specializes in ad measurement and verification and operates as a newspaper publisher with a portfolio including five national newspapers.
On March 4, 2026, the National Union of Journalists (NUJ) called on Reach plc to refrain from further cutbacks, following the publisher's upturn in profits during 2025. This warning came after Reach plc released its full-year results on the same day, reporting an adjusted operating profit of £104.7m. Piers North, a company representative, stated the profit increase was driven by decisive action on costs, establishing a leaner and more strategic structure. Previously, on March 3, 2026, the media company confirmed its 2025 profits increased despite a £20m fall in revenues, which decreased 3.7% from £538.6m in 2024 to £518.4m. A £23m, or 5.2%, reduction in costs during the year enabled Reach to post the £104.7m profit.
