Shaw Healthcare celebrates five years of employee ownership
Shaw Healthcare, which has more than 60 services across the UK, including Surehaven Glasgow in Drumchapel, became employee-owned in May 2020.
Since then, the company has placed more than 3,300 employees at the heart of its business, which has led to boosts in morale, care outcomes, and national recognition.

The company was named Employee-Owned Business of the Year in 2024, with recognition of its dedication to staff-led culture.
Russell Brown, chief executive, said: "Employee ownership has made a huge difference.
"We've seen stronger communication, greater accountability, and a real sense of pride in what we do.
"That culture directly impacts the people we care for — and that's what matters most.
"Winning the EOT Business of the Year award last year was the icing on the cake.
"It was fantastic recognition of the hard work, care and dedication shown by every single employee over the past five years and I would like to personally thank them for helping Shaw to continue to deliver the quality of care that we would expect for our own loved ones."

This model is designed to support workforce retention and delivering long-term value to local communities.
The company is now the largest employee-owned healthcare provider and the third largest employee-owned business in the UK.
