Murdock Group has announced a new strategic partnership with SDG, a specialist supplier to the construction sector, in a move that strengthens the Group’s operations across both Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.

The partnership brings together two well-established, family-owned businesses with aligned values in quality, innovation, and customer service.

It represents a key milestone in Murdock Group’s continued investment in the Irish market and reinforces its position as a leading force in construction supply.

“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.”

SDG, already recognised as a trusted supplier to the precast and broader construction sectors, will benefit from the support and resources of the wider Murdock Group.

This collaboration is set to accelerate SDG’s growth plans while enhancing its ability to deliver value to its clients.

The partnership supports Murdock Group’s wider strategic vision for sustainable, long-term expansion across Ireland.

The Group’s portfolio includes Murdock Builders Merchants, Brooks Timber & Building Supplies, Murdock Civils, Murdock Roof Trusses, Cranwood Industries, and Dublin Plywood & Veneer.

The addition of SDG adds depth to its capabilities while opening up 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,” McGuckin added.

“Together, we have the scale, the ambition, and the local insight to make a real difference in the market.”

SDG CEO Louise Skeath, who will remain in her current role and as a shareholder, also welcomed the development: “This is an incredibly exciting chapter for SDG.
