Two family businesses, one shared vision: Murdock Group and SDG join forces
In a move set to strengthen its footprint across the island of Ireland, Murdock Group has announced a strategic partnership with specialist construction supplier SDG, marking a significant milestone in the Group’s ongoing investment in the market.
The partnership brings together two respected, family-owned businesses with a shared commitment to quality, innovation, and customer service.
It marks a significant step forward in both Murdock Group’s and SDG’s strategy to expand their reach into new sectors and regions, while adding further scale and strength to its operations across Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.
“This partnership is about more than investment – it’s about impact,” said Karol McGuckin, Managing Director of Murdock Technical Solutions.
“We see huge potential in the specialist construction space, and SDG’s deep expertise and reputation make them the perfect partner as we continue to expand our presence across Ireland.”
Already a trusted supplier to the precast and wider construction sectors, SDG will benefit from enhanced support and resources through the Murdock Group, enabling it to fast-track growth plans.
The move marks a key step in Murdock Group’s strategic vision for long-term, sustainable growth in the Irish market.
For Murdock Group, which includes Murdock Builders Merchants, Brooks Timber & Building Supplies, Murdock Civils, Murdock Roof Trusses, Cranwood Industries, and Dublin Plywood & Veneer, the addition of SDG bolsters its market strength while unlocking new commercial opportunities in complementary sectors.
“SDG has built its success on strong relationships, technical excellence, and a customer-first approach – all values we share at Murdock Group,” added Karol. “Together, we have the scale, the ambition, and the local insight to make a real difference in the market.”
Louise Skeath, who will continue as CEO and shareholder of SDG, echoed the sentiment:
“This is an incredibly exciting chapter for SDG. Murdock Group brings the strength and stability of a wider network, but just as importantly, they bring shared values and a deep understanding of the Irish construction landscape.
“This partnership creates huge opportunity, not only for our team, but for the customers and suppliers we serve.”
As both organisations look to the future, the focus remains firmly on growth through collaboration, innovation, and people – driving progress across Ireland’s construction industry.
