Who are its shareholders?

The shareholders are the Samworth family. As a Private Limited Company, all shareholders must agree any share transactions. The placing of the ownership of the company into a trust ensures that the Samworth business remains private. It can conduct its business as it believes to be correct rather than having to tailor its operations and financial results to please 'The City' or external investors.

External Investors will concentrate on receiving a return without having any interest in the other aspects of the company. The Samworth family have a passion for the areas within which they operate and want to ensure their corporate culture is maintained in the future; the ownership structure of a holdings board and a family trust will help secure this.
