It’s a Family Affair

For people who didn’t know, Shredall is one of the UK's largest independently owned shredding and storage companies.  Originally set up by Lloyd Williams and a sleeping partner back in 1997, it was the only the second mobile shredding company in Europe.

In April this year, Lloyd bought out his partner after 13 years for a disclosed figure with the intentions of making Shredall and SDS a wholly owned family business.

Since the takeover, Lloyd’s children Lucy and Nick, have been invited to join the Board of Directors.  Lloyd felt they had earned it as young professionals in their own right through their valuable input and hard work for the company over the last few years.

Lucy is now the Director of SDS (Shredall Data Storage), overseeing the smooth running of the data file storage and data scanning arm of the business, whilst Nick has become the Group Sales Director responsible for the companies sales in London, Nottingham and Glasgow. Both Lucy and Nick have grasped what are extremely demanding roles with open arms and risen to the challenges set by their father.

Lloyd said: “I never envisaged my children would even work for me let alone become my co-directors. However, it makes me extremely proud that they have become such valuable assets in such a short time. Between the three of us we hope to grow the Company on a significant scale.
