At Shawston everyone owns part of the business. The decision to become employee owned was an easy one back in 2015 and one that we have all benefitted from ever since. We’ve grown from 80 – 170 employees since that day and who better to tell you about Shawston than our very own co-owners. You’ll find out what makes our guys tick, what they “own” in the business and how we have created a “Forever Shawston”.
