United by pickle
In 1967, with his father and uncle nearing
retirement, Martin Shaw spotted a news
story about Terence Peace, a local lad
who had just passed his Chartered
Company Secretary exams. Peace joined
Shaws as company secretary and within
two years was a director, marking the start
of a wonderful friendship that continues
today. The two families remain united by
pickle when Martin's sons, Matthew and
Daniel - the fifth Shaw generation - joined
the business in the 1980s, later joined by
Terence's son Jim. Representing the 6th
generation of the founding family, Annie
Shaw has joined the business which had
originally been set up in 1889 - the year
that Charlie Chaplin was born, the year
that the Savoy Hotel opened and the year
that George Shaw opened Shaws Relish
Works in Huddersfield. She has been
coming to the mill since childhood and
has since graduated from Huddersfield
University with a degree in Business
Studies with Environmental Management.
