The SHS Group: A Commemorative Book Celebrating 30 Years In Business

This is the sort of commercial project that I love. The SHS Group is a Northern Irish success story. As one of the largest mid market private companies in the UK and Ireland, with a turnover of over £400 million, they are at the top of their game. The brands they own or distribute are present in all of our shopping trolleys: WKD, Merrydown Cider, Bottle Green, Tunnocks, Jordans, Colgate, Danone, to name a few. In celebration of 30 successful years in business, a book documenting the history of the group from its inception in 1975 to the present day was conceived. Blackstaff Press were tasked with its creation and I was brought on board to create a body of images capturing the day to day running of their operations in Belfast. The pictures are a candid visual narrative of the company and its workforce. It was a pleasure working with the staff at SHS and I was very pleased to leave the warehouse with a gift of a box of Tunnocks tea cakes.
