Shawston International

Shawston is an employee owned business. This means Shawston is wholly owned by its employees who have purchased shares in the company through investing their own hard earned money. Our employee ownership journey started in 2015, when the co-founders set us on the long-term path towards 'forever Shawston'. It has always been our philosophy to put more and more equity in the hands of our employees, so the decision to change our employees from wage earners to genuine shareholders was an easy one. "Retiring at Shawston is a real prospect - a job for life perhaps." Our co-owners are empowered, valued, committed and full of motivation to take ownership of their various roles and responsibilities within our business. Going the extra mile is key in ensuring the customer is happy and the Shawston family remain safe and happy too. Trust is vital here too; we have a sense of togetherness that is rarely found within our market sectors. We own it and our methods reflect the business we are.
