Cardo Group grows after netting Trident takeover

A building maintenance firm has expanded with a takeover.

Cardo Group has bought Trident Maintenance Services.

The Cardiff-headquartered company says the move will bolster its presence across England and Scotland, adding it will “create additional opportunities for local employment, training and skills development”.

Known for delivering building refurbishment and improvement projects, Trident Maintenance Services works across the commercial, social housing, healthcare and education sectors.

Headquartered in Bellshill, near Glasgow, its national branch network includes bases in Bristol; Romford; Salford; Southampton; Wakefield; Warrington; and Cramlington, in Northumberland.

Liam Bevan, Cardo Group chief executive, said: “We’re delighted to welcome Trident Maintenance Services. 

“It expands our national capabilities, particularly in the north of England, and enhances our offering across Scotland while supporting our long-term strategy of investment in skilled local workforces and supply chains.” 

Kenny Robson, Trident Maintenance Services managing director, added: “Joining Cardo Group marks an exciting next chapter. 

“It gives us the scale, backing and shared ambition to grow sustainably, expand our capabilities across housing, healthcare, education and other key market sectors, and invest further in our people.”

The deal comes after Cardo Group bought Glasgow-based roofing business Faskin Group and Cambridgeshire-headquartered passive fire protection business Gunfire.
