We’re proud to be an award-winning family-run business.
It’s not so much "what can The Sherwood Group do".... but what would you like us to do?
The strength of our family-run business is in the pure breadth of what we offer. Our most successful customer relationships are the ones that utilise the full range of services The Sherwood Group can provide market-leading print and innovation, underpinned by excellent customer service.
Today, The Sherwood Group is the UK’s leading independent packaging and greeting cards manufacturer, with a track record of award-winning products and designs.
We offer three manufacturing facilities across the UK and China, employing over 300 members of staff on two continents. We are extremely proud of all that we have achieved to date, although the values of the business are still the same- striving to be the best in the markets we serve and to provide the best care to our customers. We like to say that ‘we are big enough to cope but small enough to care.’
