Our Story
Bringing buyers and sellers together since 1975.
The notion of creating a marketplace was where it all started for the Friday Media Group. Our Founder, Chris Kidger, wanted to sell his car in the 70s and quickly realised there wasn’t an easy way to advertise it to local people who may want to buy. Chris and his wife subsequently launched a weekly printed sheet entitled Friday-Ad, and hand-delivered them around the Uckfield area.
Truly at the heart of what we do as a group to this very day is much the same now as it was 45 years ago – connecting people, easily, to the very thing they are looking for. There’s no better place for your business to reach a considerable and highly targeted audience of potential customers.
From the Community, for the community!
