Newry-headquartered Murdock Group has entered into a strategic partnership with Armagh-based specialist construction supplier SDG, strengthening its presence across both Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.

This collaboration brings together two well-established, family-run businesses with a strong track record in the construction sector. The partnership supports Murdock Group's ongoing strategy to expand its operations into new regions and market sectors.

SDG, already a recognised supplier to the precast and wider construction industry, will benefit from increased support and resources through the Murdock Group. This backing will accelerate SDG's growth plans and enhance its service offering to the industry.

"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 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."

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.

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.
