It joins LCB Group, Cardo (South) (previously known as Osborne Property Services), and Jefferies Contractors as Cardo continues to build one of the largest building maintenance companies in the UK. This acquisition of building refurbishment and decorating specialist, A & N Lewis, is Cardo Group’s fourth purchase in less than a year.
Together with steady organic growth, this latest acquisition will take the Group’s annual turnover to £170million in 2024/25. A & N Lewis was founded in Cardiff in 1987 and is a well-respected contractor in the South Wales area, specialising in general building works, retrofit and specialist painting and decorating works to corporate properties.
Cardo Group CEO, Liam Bevan, commented: “It was obvious when I first met the team at A & N Lewis that they’d make a great fit for us as we continue to extend Cardo’s service offering across public buildings as well as social housing, with an increasing focus on retrofit work. The professional and experienced team at A&N Lewis will give us an extra string to our bow in the South Wales area, especially in the field of public and corporate building refurbishment where we are seeing increased opportunities for PAS 2038 compliant retrofit works. I am delighted to welcome everyone from A&N to the Cardo Group. I know the business will continue to thrive with well-respected and very experienced directors, Andy Gentile, Andy Gooch and Garry White, remaining at the helm.”
Andy Gentile will take on the role of Managing Director, enabling him to continue to pursue his passion for delivering excellent services and training the next generation of skilled craft workers. Gentile said: “it’s been 37 years since the company was founded and my fellow directors and I are all excited to take this next step in our history as
part of the growing Cardo Group. I am grateful to everyone at A&N for the work they’ve done building up our reputation for doing great work and I know they will all do well in Cardo. We’ll be reaching out to all of our supply chain partners, too, so they know that we will continue to value their involvement as we work with Cardo to build on our successes. We all remain very grateful to our clients who have helped us get to where we are and who continue to honour us by selecting us to do their work.”
