Shepherd Group
The Shepherd Group was founded in 1890 in York when Frederick Shepherd, the founder of the Company, set up a successful building business in York. Trading as F Shepherd and Son, the firm was incorporated as a private Company in 1924 and by the late 1930's had established a major presence throughout Yorkshire and North East England.
Today the Shepherd Group is one of the largest family owned, private companies in Europe, with annual sales in excess of £700 million and employing around 3,500 people.
The Group's operations are divided into three divisions:
- Engineering & Construction (SES and Shepherd Construction)
- Manufacturing (Portakabin, Allspace, Yorkon, Foremans, Konstructa, Portaloo, Portastor, Advent and Homeseeker brands)
- Property (Shepherd Developments and Shepherd Homes)
The Group has a strong commitment to corporate social responsibility and has built a reputation for providing quality products and services, delivered by a committed team of people demonstrating vision, integrity and pride in performance.
