About Gumtree

At Gumtree, we’re proud to have spent the last 20 years helping to make ‘Good Finds’ happen for millions of people across the UK. From motors to sofas, records to roommates, connecting people to what they need, when they need is what a Good Find is all about - even if that does sometimes mean the occasional advert with a typo in a headline or a thumb over the camera lens. Over the years we’ve helped start next chapters, supported communities and small businesses and encouraged people to embrace a culture of re-commerce, where we waste less, share more and help each other out in small ways.
