Shaw & Sons Limited is proud to be one of the oldest established businesses of any description in the world, having been founded in 1750 and trading continuously since then. Through its long history, Shaw's core markets have been the legal and local government sectors. Today, this is still true and, for the former, we supply a wide range of paper forms, specialist legal stationery and printing services. For local government, the same products and services are offered, plus a specialist binding service for registers and minutes, and a fine selection of bespoke civic ceremonial items. In fact, the civic ceremonial department supplies a variety of items not only to local authorities but also to city livery companies and professional institutions. These include civic insignia, illuminated addresses, honorary freedom scrolls, distinguished visitor books, heraldic plaques and various certificates. Election supplies has become the biggest of Shaw & Sons' departments and we supply virtually everything (except ballot papers) that is required for equipping polling stations and counts for elections of all types throughout England and Wales, with a selection of products for Scotland, Northern Ireland and overseas as well. For businesses of all types, you can order your everyday printed stationery from us. Finally, under the Shaw's Funeral Products banner, we supply a range of stunningly beautiful cremation urns, ash keepsake jewellery and books of condolence for the bereaved and a wide selection of practical items for funeral directors. Thus Shaw & Sons continues to present a quite diverse, although largely inter-related, range of activities. A common feature of them all is the high standard of customer service and expertise that is the result of over 260 years' experience.
