The Story of FROM YOU TO ME

How It All Began

  

Managing Director, Neil, was caring for his terminally ill father when it struck him that there was so much that had been left unsaid and undiscovered about his father’s life. A keen public interest in family history was evident with the success of genealogy websites and the BBC’s Who Do You Think You Are programme. However, Neil recognised that it's less easy to find interesting facts and stories about the names featured on your family tree. 

Asking questions that you’ve never thought to ask, telling stories you’ve never had the chance to tell, as well as the cathartic nature of writing, all inspired Neil to create FROM YOU TO ME, and the first products, Dear Mum and Dear Dad, were born. A thousand copies were printed to test the market and these were sold through two local shops and a company website. These journals sold out within two weeks and, following great feedback, the business vision was created and our story began.

Together with Director and Company Secretary, Helen, and a great team of employees and partners, FROM YOU TO ME has, over the last 16 years, grown significantly and expanded the product range, as well as introduced many titles to countries around the world.

Our studio is in Wiltshire in the UK, with warehousing and distribution facilities in the UK and USA. Distribution partners are based in Australia, Canada, Ireland, South Africa, Spain, and France, with many licensees around the world. If you're interested in working with us to sell, license or distribute our titles, or simply connect with us, we look forward to hearing from you.
