Mark Rushin, group director, said: “The acquisition of both Edgewest and Scandura complement the group perfectly and both mark important steps in our ambitious plans to be the ‘supplier of choice’ for every customer in the markets in which we operate.
“We will be retaining the employees, equipment and premises of both businesses and they will continue to operate autonomously.”
