Our Story
Shepcote was started in 1969 by Michael Shepherdson in Driffield and continues to successfully trade from their East Yorkshire base. In 1994, Richard Shepherdson, the company’s Managing Director, took over the day-to-day management tasks from his father; he continues to apply and build upon the successful principles set by his father that have made Shepcote an industry leader. The company moved to a purpose built factory, warehouse and office in June 2007.
