Established in 1998 as Shed Productions, the company floated on AIM (Alternative Investment Market) in March 2005.

[2][3] Shed was established in 1998,[4] specialising in producing long-running returnable drama including Waterloo Road, Bad Girls and Footballers' Wives.

The acquisition was a strategic move in order to maximise exploitation of the Group's IP through its own in-house distribution company, whilst growing third-party business.

The Shed management team held on to a 21.37% shareholding, with the remaining stake being split between a group of 27 key staff members.

[11] In April 2012, Shed Media Group had announced that they've acquired a majority stake in London-based British factual entertainment television production company Renegade Pictures with its team continued to operate the acquired company in their London base as Renegade's production output will now be distributed by Warner Bros.' international television distribution division.

Several of Shed's programmes have won BAFTA, RTS, Rose D'Or and National Television Awards.
