About SHS Group

The SHS Group is a diverse and dynamic business, with a major presence in the FMCG sector in the UK and Ireland – and, increasingly, in key international markets. Headquartered in Belfast, Northern Ireland, we have several offices and production facilities across the UK & Ireland and currently employ over 1,100 people. We own popular household brands such as WKD, Shloer, Bottlegreen, no&more craft waters and Merrydown Cider, as well Zip firelighters, Crucials sauces and the Rocks range of squashes and cordials. We also distribute a portfolio of over 100 blue-chip brands including Jordans, Ryvita, Finish, Mars Drinks and Colgate. In addition, SHS is the UK’s largest supplier both of own-label herbs and spices through our subsidiary British Pepper and Spice, which has over 300 years of expertise. Furthermore, we produce over ambient dessert own-label products for major supermarkets. The Group comprises five core divisions: Drinks; Condiments & Spices; Sales & Marketing; Household and Corporate Services. The three brand-led divisions all either directly own or are exclusive distributors of the number one products in their sector. In the past 12 months we’ve acquired another major global brand plus a majority holding in a UK market leader, Meridian nut butters - and we’re still growing. SHS was founded in 1975 as an independent family-run business, and we still live that independent attitude today. We’re an agile and ambitious Group, with a unique culture focused on building brilliance – in businesses, in brands and in careers. At the heart of this is a set of values we call SPIRIT. These values are an integral part of the way we work, of our relationships with our colleagues, customers and communities. They also inform our approach to delivering environmental best practice and driving innovation. Brands are the DNA of the SHS Group, and the essence of every successful brand is people. They’re our secret and our focus – and they make us who we are.
